PREFACE 

Dear  reader,  this  little  book  is  a supplement  of  a book 
entitled  “ God's  Last  Message  to  a Lost  World.” 

But  this  little  book  is  an  eye  opener,  it  is  the  Lord’s 
midnight  cry,  which  is  the  Father ’s  preparation  and  it  has 
come  at  its  appointed  time  to  wake  us  up. 
v It  tells  us  of  our  prophetical  warnings  to  wait  for  it,  and 
to  let  no  man  deceive  us. 

It  gives  us  the  reason  why  our  Lord  has  been  about  140 
^years  tarrying,  while  the  whole  world  has  been  slumbering 
and  sleeping,  all  spiritually  blind.  (Matthew  25  :5,  6.) 

It  is  written  as  the  fathers  have  set  it  before  us  on  two 
lines  of  good  and  evil  characters,  the  one  against  the  other 
from  the  Garden  of  Eden  to  the  Garden  of  Gethsemane. 

> It  opens  the  door  of  mercy  from  Pentecost  down  to 
^about  1780  A.  D.,  over  1700  years  for  the  perfecting  of  the 
Lamb’s  Bride,  and  when  the  6th  seal  was  opened,  the 
‘.door  of  mercy  was  shut  with  a time  key. 

By  and  by  His  door  of  mercy  will  be  open  again  for  the 
perfecting  of  His  servants,  which  will  take  place  as  soon 
as  His  midnight  cry  goes  forth  to  wake  us  up  (Rev.  3 :20). 

This  midnight  cry  will  wake  us  up  alike,  we  will  all 
think,  walk,  and  talk  alike,  because  He  has  only  one  prep- 
aration which  will  give  us  His  Baptism  and  endue  us  with 
His  power  all  alike.

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


And  then  we  will  be  taught  alike,  having  the  Holy  Spirit, 
the  same  Teacher  to  lead  ns  into  all  truth  and  teach  us  all 
things  alike. 

Our  Lord  says,  Sanctify  them  through  Thy  Truth : 
Thy  Word  is  Truth.  As  Thou,  Father,  art  in  Me,  and  I 
in  Thee,  that  they  also  may  be  one  in  us  (John  17  :17,  21). 

This  little  book  shows  us  that  the  Old  Testament  is  a book 
of  types  and  shadows,  patterns,  plans  and  specifications  of 
God’s  tabernacle,  God’s  house,  God’s  temple,  which  is  our 
body ; it  will  show  us  how  to  purify,  and  make  them  clean, 
and  white,  and  holy,  before  we  can  open  the  door  to  let 
Him  come  in  (Revelation  3:20). 

It  shows  the  difference  between  the  bondson  and  the  free 
son,  the  holy  and  the  profane,  the  life  line  and  the  death 
line,  the  strait  gate  into  the  narrow  road,  a type  of  life,  and 
the  broad  profane  road ; a type  of  everlasting  death. 

It  is  an  eye  opener  and  Christ  says,  every  one  that  will 
hear  it  and  learn  it  of  the  Father  will  come  to  Him ; because 
the  Father  will  send  them  to  Him,  and  He  (Christ)  will 
raise  them  up  at  the  last  day  (John  6 :37,  39,  40,  44,  45,  54) 
read  them  all. 

This  is  God’s  book  of  visions  and  these  visions  are  proph- 
ecies and  prophecy  is  inspiration  of  God  which  says,  Wait 
for  it. 

It  says,  write  the  vision  and  make  it  plain  upon  tables 
(tablets),  that  he  may  run  that  readeth  it. 

For  the  vision  is  yet  for  an  appointed  time,  but  at  the 
end  it  shall  speak  and  not  lie : though  it  tarry,  wait  for  it, 
because  it  will  surely  come,  it  will  not  be  delayed  (Habak- 
kuk  2:3). 

This  message  consists  of  the  Father ’s  preparation,  first  to 
wake  us  up,  for  we  are  all  slumbering  and  sleeping  (Mat- 
thew 25:5,  6),  then  to  wash,  cleanse,  purify  ourselves,  and 
make  us  white,  and  tried  (Daniel  12  :10). 

The  Old  Testament  is  a book  of  types  and  shadows,  pat- 
terns, plans  and  specifications,  predestinated  before  the 


MIDNIGHT  CEY  5 

foundation  of  the  world,  according  as  it  pleased  Him,  so 
Paul  says  (Romans  8:29,  30;  Ephesians  1:3  to  12). 

Therefore  the  foundation  principle  the  Father  has  set 
before  us  in  this  little  book  of  preparation  is  written  on 
two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters.  Good  is  set  against 
evil,  life  against  death  and  blessing  against  cursing  (Deu- 
teronomy 30:15,  19). 

These  two  lines  represent  many  characters  from  Adam  to 
Jesus  Christ  on  the  holy  and  profane  line ; heaven  and 
earth  has  them  recorded.  Millions  learned  them  and  were 
made  perfect  even  as  He  is  perfect,  and  they  were  then  all 
of  one  mind  and  no  divisions  among  them  (Revelation  7 :9)» 

These  two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters  are  the  Fath- 
er’s schoolmaster  to  bring  us  to  Jesus  Christ  His  Son, 
who  came  to  this  earth  to  take  out  a bride  and  destroy  the 
works  of  the  devil. 

So  it  is  written,  when  we  look  upon  the  things  of  the  Most 
High,  there  are  two  and  two,  good  is  set  against  evil,  and 
life  against  death,  the  sinner  against  the  Godly  and  the 
Godly  against  the  sinner. 

This  preparation  gives  us  the  Father’s  types,  His  pat- 
tern of  a tabernacle,  a house,  a temple  builded  out  of  lively 
stones,  for  Him  to  dwell  in  forever.  And  all  the  material 
that  goes  into  this  house,  which  is  our  bodies,  has  been 
bought  with  the  price  of  His  own  Son’s  blood,  and  must 
be  clean,  pure  and  white,  without  spot  or  blemish  before  we 
can  receive  His  new  birth  (1st  Corinthians  6:19,  20;  Rom- 
ans 12  :1,  2). 

So  this  little  book  gives  many  characters  to  teach  us  the 
good  and  the  evil,  and  our  Lord  says,  that  every  one  that 
will  hear  it  and  learn  it  will  come  to  Him  and  He  will  raise 
him  up  at  the  last  day  (John  6 :39,  40,  44) . 

And  this  is  what  the  Father  has  set  before  us  to  hear  and 
learn,  and  then  choose  life  and  live ; this  will  show  us  the 
strait-gate  into  the  narrow  road,  and  few  there  be  that  find 
it ; for  it  has  been  lost  for  over  140  years,  or  since  martyr- 
dom ceased  in  1780  A.  D.

just  men,  two  kinds  of  wars,  two  ways  to  think,  two  kinds 
of  promises,  two  kinds  of  riches,  two  kinds  of  perfection, 
and  two  kinds  of  destinations  mentioned  in  this  little  book, 
but  many  others  not  mentioned  for  lack  of  space ; but  there 
is  only  one  solid  foundation,  the  Father’s  Word,  which  is 
the  Rock  Christ  Jesus,  and  over  200  foundations  built  by 
man  on  sand.

THE  MIDNIGHT  CRY 

The  New  Era 

The  Father’s  Preparation  to 
Wake  Us  Up 

The  Old  Testament  is  a book  of  types  and  shadows  pre- 
destinated before  the  foundation  of  the  earth ; and  written 
on  two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters  from  the  Garden 
of  Eden  to  the  Garden  of  Gethsemane. 

This  world  is  God’s  training  school,  and  these  two  lines 
of  good  and  evil  characters  are  our  schoolmaster  to  train 
us  and  bring  us  to  Christ,  our  Lord  (Galatians  3:24),  who 
is  our  Spiritual  Bridegroom. 

No  man  can  come  to  Christ  before  he  has  first  heard  and 
been  trained  to  know  the  law  of  sin  and  death,  and  also  the 
law  made  for  saints,  which  is  eternal  life. 

Jesus  said,  murmur  not  among  yourselves,  no  man  can 
come  to  me  except  the  Father  which  hath  sent  me  draw 
him : and  I will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day. 

It  is  written  in  the  prophets,  and  they  shall  be  all  taught 
of  God.  Every  man  therefore  that  hath  heard,  and  hath 
learned  of  the  Father  cometh  unto  Me  (John  6 :43,  44,  45). 

Learn  what?  Learn  the  law  of  good  and  evil,  life  and 
death,  blessing  and  cursing  as  shown  by  the  two  lines  of 
characters  from  wicked  Cain,  who  slew  his  brother  Abel,  to 
wicked  Judas  Iscariot,  who  sold  his  Master  for  thirty  pieces 
of  silver;  and  from  righteous  Abel  to  righteous  John  the 
Baptist ; in  this  we  see  two  murderers  and  two  lambs  to  be 
slaughtered.

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


These  two  lines  show  the  works  of  evil  and  the  works  of 
good,  for  good  is  set  against  evil  and  life  against  death : so 
is  the  Godly  against  the  sinner  and  the  sinner  against  the 
Godly.  So  look  upon  the  things  of  the  Most  High  and 
there  are  two  and  two,  one  against  the  other. 

All  things  are  double  one  against  the  other : and  He  hath 
made  nothing  imperfect.  One  thing  establisheth  the  good 
of  the  other : and  who  shall  be  filled  with  beholding  His 
glory  (Ecclesiasticns  42:24,  25  Apocrypha). 

Our  Lord  says,  every  man  that  hath  heard  and  hath 
learned  of  the  Father  (His  two  and  two)  will  come  to  Him, 
and  He  will  raise  them  up,  and  they  shall  then  behold 
His  glory. 

THE  TWO  AND-TWO  LINE 
GOOD  AND  EVIL  CHARACTERS 

TWO  FATHERS,  GOD  AND  ADAM, 
FIRST  SPIRITUAL  THEN  NATURAL 

First  the  Spiritual  then  the  natural  before  the  fall  of 
Adam;  but  since  Adam’s  disobedience  everything  has 
changed  and  the  natural  is  first,  then  the  Spiritual ; for  we 
are  conceived  in  iniquity  and  born  in  sin. 

God  the  Spiritual  Father  is  the  creator  of  the  universe 
and  everything  that  is  created.  The  last  day  of  His  creat- 
ing He  made  man  in  His  own  image  (Genesis  1 :1  to  31). 

Adam  the  natural  father  of  the  human  race  was  innocent 
of  any  evil  thought,  word  or  deed  before  he  was  tempted 
by  his  wife,  Eve,  Genesis,  chapter  three ; but  when  Adam 
disobeyed  God  the  earth  was  cursed  and  given  into  the 
hands  of  the  wicked  (Job  9:24)  ; who  are  influenced  by 
Satan,  the  father  of  lies  for  he  was  a liar  from  the  begin- 
ning. 

After  this  sons  and  daughters  were  born  to  Adam  and 
Eve  and  the  human  race  and  our  terrible  natural  condition 
is  the  result. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

TWO  SONS,  REPRESENTING  FIRST 
THE  NATURAL  THEN  THE  SPIRITUAL 

God  gave  Adam  two  sons,  Cain  and  Abel ; as  the  fathers 
so  the  sons,  the  one  against  the  other. 

Cain  a murderer,  a type  of  the  devil ; and  Abel  a lamb 
for  the  slaughter,  a type  of  Jesus  Christ. 

Cain  a soil  tiller,  a city  builder,  and  a world  lover,  like 
his  father  after  the  curse ; and  he  had  to  eat  his  bread  in 
sweat  and  sorrow  on  the  unholy  bondson  line,  a type  of 
death. 

But  Abel  was  a keeper  of  sheep,  a type  of  the  Holy 
Shepherd  Jesus  Christ  over  His  holy  flock,  whose  sheep 
hear  His  voice. 

God  cursed  the  earth  after  Adam  sinned,  and  gave  it 
into  the  hands  of  the  wicked  (Job  9:24)  ; but  He  never 
cursed  the  lambs,  the  sheep,  nor  the  cattle,  for  these  were 
to  be  used  for  sacrifices. 

So  Cain  and  Abel  each  built  an  altar  unto  the  Lord,  and 
Cain  brought  from  the  fruit  of  the  ground  of  that  which  is 
not  perfect  as  an  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

And  Abel  brought  of  the  firstlings  of  his  flock  and  the 
fat  thereof,  and  the  Lord  had  respect  unto  Abel  and  his 
offering. 

But  unto  Cain  and  to  his  offering,  God  had  no  respect. 
And  Cain  was  very  wroth,  and  his  countenance  fell. 

And  the  Lord  said  unto  Cain,  why  art  thou  wroth?  and 
why  is  thy  countenance  fallen  ? 

If  thou  doest  well,  shalt  thou  not  be  accepted?  and  if  thou 
doest  not  well,  sin  lieth  at  the  door;  and  unto  thee  is  its 
desire,  but  thou  canst  rule  over  it. 

And  Cain  talked  with  Abel  his  brother:  and  it  came  to 
pass,  when  they  were  in  the  field,  that  Cain  rose  up  against 
Abel  his  brother,  and  slew  him. 


10 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


And  the  Lord  said  unto  Cain,  Where  is  Abel  thy  brother  ? 
"and  he  said,  I know  not:  (he  lied)  am  I my  brother’s 
keeper  ? 

And  the  Lord  said  unto  Cain,  What  hast  thou  done?  the 
voice  of  thy  brother’s  blood  crieth  unto  Me  from  the 
ground. 

And  now  art  thou  cursed  from  the  earth,  which  hath 
opened  her  mouth  to  receive  thy  brother’s  blood  from  thy 
hand. 

When  thou  tillest  the  ground,  it  shall  not  henceforth  yield 
unto  thee  her  strength ; a fugitive  and  a vagabond  shalt 
thou  be  on  the  earth. 

Cain  is  a type  of  the  wicked  husbandman  of  today,  who 
is  on  the  very  brink  of  destruction,  called  the  accursed  line 
of  sin,  a type  of  death  (see  Matthew  21:33  to  41). 

But  Adam’s  third  son  Seth  and  his  posterity  to  the  flood 
were  called  the  sons  of  God,  on  the  line  of  prophets,  priests 
and  kings,  a type  of  eternal  life. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  VINEYARDS, 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 
VISIBLE  AND  INVISIBLE 

The  natural  vineyard  was  given  into  the  hands  of  the 
wicked  bondson  after  God  cursed  the  earth  (Job  9:24). 
This  bondson  sinner  God  gave  travail  to  gather  up  earthly 
stores  of  vanity,  which  made  him  a lover  of  this  world  and 
also  of  money,  the  root  of  all  evil. 

Later  on  the  Lord  put  this  bondson  sinner,  who  bowed 
down  to  the  golden  calf  in  the  wilderness,  under  the  ten 
commandment  law  to  make  him  eat  his  bread  in  sweat 
and  sorrow  before  the  birth  of  Christ.  Then  he  and  all 
others  were  warned  to  repent  and  be  born  again. 

But  the  spiritual  vineyard  is  the  invisible  kingdom, 
where  the  substance  of  things  hoped  for  is  received  by 
FAITH;  for  the  just,  the  free  sons,  the  sons  of  God  (Genesis 


MIDNIGHT  CRY  11 

6:1,  2),  shall  live  by  faith,  a type  of  the  faith  of  Jesus 
Christ  (Romans  1:17). 

Therefore  it  is  written,  look  not  upon  the  things  which 
are  seen,  for  they  are  all  vanity,  because  they  are  all  per- 
ishable. Our  Lord  says,  he  that  loveth  this  world  or  the 
things  of  this  world  how  dwelleth  the  love  of  God  in  him? 
(1st  John  2:15). 


TWO  KINDS  OF  WORKS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

The  natural  bondson  works  on  the  wicked  bondson  line 
of  Cain,  Ishmael  and  Esau,  are  of  misery  and  death ; which 
Solomon,  God’s  wise  man,  says,  is  all  vanity  and  vexation 
of  spirit. 

But  the  works  of  faith,  made  for  just  men,  are  on  the  line 
of  Abel,  Seth,  Enoch,  Noah,  Abraham,  Isaac,  Jacob,  Joseph, 
Moses,  Aaron,  and  all  the  good  judges,  prophets,  priests 
and  kings  down  to  John  the  Baptist. 

Now  faith  (works)  is  the  substance  of  things  hoped  for, 
the  evidence  of  things  not  seen. 

Through  faith  we  understand  that  the  world  was  framed 
by  the  Word. 

By  faith  Abel  offered  up  a more  excellent  sacrifice  than 
Cain. 

By  faith  Enoch  was  translated  that  he  should  not  see 
death ; without  faith  it  is  impossible  to  please  God. 

By  faith  Noah,  being  warned  of  things  not  seen  as  yet, 
moved  with  fear,  prepared  an  ark  to  the  saving  of  his 
house. 

By  faith  Abraham,  when  he  was  called  to  go  out  into  a 
place  which  he  should  after  receive  for  an  inheritance, 
obeyed : and  he  went,  not  knowing  whither. 

By  faith  he  sojourned  in  the  land  of  promise,  for  he 
looked  for  a city  which  hath  foundations,  whose  builder  and 
maker  is  God. 


12 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Through  faith  also  Sarah  herself  received  strength  to 
conceive  seed,  and  was  delivered  of  a child  when  she  was 
past  age,  because  she  judged  Him  faithful  who  had 
promised. 

By  faith  Abraham  when  he  was  tried,  offered  up  Isaac. 

By  faith  Isaac  blessed  Jacob  and  Esau  concerning 
things  to  come. 

By  faith  Jacob  blessed  both  the  sons  of  Joseph  when  he 
was  dying. 

By  faith  Moses,  when  he  was  born,  was  hid  three  months 
because  he  was  a proper  child. 

By  faith  he  forsook  Egypt  and  through  faith  he  kept 
the  passover. 

By  faith  they  passed  through  the  Red  Sea  as  by  dry  land 
and  the  Egyptians  followed  after  and  were  all  drowned. 

By  faith  the  walls  of  Jericho  fell  after  they  were  com- 
passed about  seven  days. 

And  what  more  could  be  said  of  the  wonderful  works  of 
faith  done  on  this  free  line  of  judges,  prophets,  priests 
and  kings  all  for  our  admonition. 

Who  through  faith  subdued  kingdoms,  wrought  right- 
eousness, obtained  promises,  stopped  the  mouths  of  lions, 
quenched  the  violence  of  fire,  escaped  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
out  of  weakness  were  made  strong,  waxed  valiant  in  fight. 

Women  received  their  dead,  raised  to  life  again,  others 
were  tortured  to  give  us  a type  of  how  our  Lord’s  Bride 
were  to  be  tried ; and  others  had  cruel  mockings  and 
scourgings,  yea,  moreover  in  bonds  and  imprisonments. 

They  were  stoned,  they  were  sawn  asunder,  were  tempted, 
were  slain  with  the  sword : they  wandered  about  in  moun- 
tains and  in  dens  and  in  caves  of  the  earth. 

And  these  all  having  obtained  a good  report  through 
faith,  received  not  the  promise : God  having  provided  some 
better  thing  for  us,  that  they  without  us  should  not  be  made 
perfect  (Hebrews  11th  ch.). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

Say,  brother,  the  least  in  His  (Christ's)  Bridal  company 
is  greater  than  all  of  these  combined ; because  they  received 
the  new  birth  of  power  in  them. 

But  no  man  on  the  wicked  bondson  line  of  Cain,  Ishmael 
and  Esau  down  to  wicked  Judas  Iscariot  ever  did  any 
works  of  miracles;  no,  not  one  in  over  4000  years  of  Old 
Testament  history ; remember  this. 

So  now  we  will  continue  the  two  lines  after  the  flood  as 
in  the  beginning:  Abraham  is  a type  of  God  in  the  flesh, 
and  God  gave  him  two  sons  by  two  women.  These  two 
mothers  now  represent  the  two  lines  of  evil  and  good : 
Hagar,  a bond  woman,  was  the  mother  of  Abraham's  first 
born  son  Ishmael ; and  Sarah,  a free  woman,  in  her  old  age 
became  the  mother  of  Isaac,  Abraham’s  second  son. 

But  Ishmael,  the  bondson,  like  his  mother,  was  in  bond- 
age and  he  hated  Isaac,  the  free  son;  because  he  (Ishmael) 
is  on  the  line  of  Cain,  a type  of  the  devil ; but  Isaac,  the 
free  son,  was  a child  by  promise,  a type  of  Jesus  Christ. 


TWO  MOTHERS 

REPRESENTING  TWO  CHURCHES 

Hagar,  the  bond  woman,  represents  the  old  "harlot  church 
of  Babylon,  and  also  modern  Jerusalem,  wdio  always  has 
been  in  bondage  with  her  children,  for  the  desolate  hath 
many  more  children  than  she  which  hath  an  husband. 

But  Sarah,  the  free  woman,  represents  Zion,  which  is  the 
new  Jerusalem  above,  whose  children  are  free  (see  Gala- 
tians 4:19  to  31). 

To  make  this  plain  and  bring  it  down  to  date ; Hagar 
and  her  son  were  both  in  bondage,  and  they  are  a type  of 
us  Israelites  for  the  last  140  years,  all  asleep  and  blind  to 
Spiritual  things  (Matthew  25:5,  6). 

But  Sarah  and  her  son  were  both  free,  and  they  are  a 
type  of  the  Pentecostal  saints,  God’s  called  out  ones  on 
God’s  free  son  line.

TWO  KINDS  OF  LAWS 
MAN'S  LAW  AND  GOD'S  LAW 
THE  NATURAL  LAW,  A TYPE  OF  DEATH 
AND  SPIRITUAL  LAW  A TYPE  OF  LIFE 
ROMANS  3:27,  28 

God  has  two  laws,  the  natural  and  the  Spiritual,  in  types 
and  shadows,  for  bondsons  and  free  sons  (Romans  3 :27,  28). 

First  the  natural  law.  I am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which 
have  brought  thee  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  out  of  the 
house  of  bondage. 

Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods  before  Me. 

Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  any  graven  image,  or  any 
likeness  of  anything  that  is  in  the  heaven  above,  or  that  is 
in  the  earth  bene.ath,  or  that  is  in  the  water  under  the 
earth. 

Thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor  serve  them ; 
for  I the  Lord  thy  God  am  a jealous  God,  visiting  the  in- 
iquity of  the  fathers  upon  the  children  unto  the  third  and 
fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate  Me ; and  shewing  mercy 
unto  thousands  of  them  that  love  Me,  and  keep  My  com- 
mandments. (This  is  the  law  for  us  rebels,  so  Paul  says, 
1st  Timothy  1 :9,  10) . 

Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  the  Lord  thy  God  in 
vain;  for  the  Lord  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that  taketh 
His  name  in  vain.  (This  is  a common  sin  not  repented  of 
by  quitting  it). 

Remember  the  sabbath  day  to  keep  it  holy.  (This  is 
entirely  lost  sight  of.)  Six  days  shalt  thou  labor,  and  do 
all  thy  work : But  the  seventh  is  the  sabbath  of  the  Lord 
thy  God : in  it  thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy 
son,  nor  thy  daughter,  thy  manservant,  nor  thy  maidser- 
vant, nor  thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy 
gates:  (This  is  also  lost  sight  of.)  For  in  six  days  the 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


15 


Lord  made  heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that  in  them 
is,  and  rested  the  seventh  day  :*  wherefore  the  Lord  blessed 
the  sabbath  day,  and  hallowed  it. 

Honor  th}^  father  and  thy  mother : that  thy  days  may  be 
long  upon  the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery. 

Thou  shalt  not  steal. 

Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness  against  thy  neighbor. 

Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor’s  house,  thou  shalt  not 
covet  thy  neighbor ’s  wife,  nor  his  manservant,  nor  his  maid- 
servant, nor  his  ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor  anything  that  is  thy 
neighbor ’s. 

This  Ten  Commandment  law  was  made  before  Moses  and 
Aaron  made  the  tabernacle,  and  before  Levi  and  his  sons 
had  been  anointed  and  sanctified  to  do  holy  work  in  the 
tabernacle. 

So  this  law  was  made  for  the  twelve  tribes  of  Israel ; 
who  refused  to  leave  the  worship  of  the  golden  calf. 

And  because  Levi  and  his  sons  obeyed  Moses,  God  said, 
the  Levites  are  mine ; and  He  made  them  a sanctified  holy 
people,  and  He  exempted  them  from  war  and  gave  them 
no  inheritance  on  this  sin-cursed  earth,  as  soil-tillers,  city 
builders,  or  land  owners.  But  God  made  them  rulers  over 
their  bondson  brethren. 

And  God  blessed  the  obedient  of  Israel,  if  they  heark- 
ened diligently  unto  the  Lord,  in  basket,  and  in  store  and 
made  them  the  head  and  not  the  tail,  to  loan  to  many  na- 
tions and  never  to  borrow  under  His  natural  law  of  death. 

But  they  had  to  bring  to  the  tabernacle,  called  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  one-tenth,  the  best  of  all  the  products  of  the 
land,  and  God  added  to  them  seven  fold  when  they  brought 
the  best  of  their  accumulations  (see  Numbers  18:8-14). 

And  He  cursed  them  with  His  bitterest  curses,  when  they 
failed,  even  to  this  day  (see  Deuteronomy  28th  chapter,  and 
Malachi  3 :7-10) . 


16 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


The  natural  law  says,  an  eye  for  an  eye  and  a tooth  for 
a tooth,  a hand  for  a hand,  and  a foot  for  a foot,  and  a 
life  for  a life.  But  the  Levites  were  under  the  free  son 
law,  which  is  the  law  of  faith;  a type  of  our  Lord’s  New 
Commandment,  the  law  of  Love. 

Thou  shalt  not  kill,  but  thou  shalt  love  thine  enemy  and 
bless  him ; thou  shalt  love  God  with  all  thine  heart,  soul, 
mind,  and  strength,  and  thy  neighbor  as  thyself. 

He  that  taketh  up  the  sword  shall  die  with  the  sword; 
there  are  many  kinds  of  swords,  but  there  is  no  sword  as 
sharp  as  the  word,  it  cuts  into  the  marrow  and  that  does 
hurt. 

Cain  killed  his  brother  Abel,  and  Cain  was  killed  by  his 
grandson  Lamech.  Nimrod  killed  a child,  thinking  that  the 
child  was  Abraham,  but  God  allowed  Esau  to  kill  him 
(Nimrod),  and  God  used  a young  lad  of  the  tribe  of  Dan 
to  kill  Esau;  because  Esau  had  his  army  to  fight  against 
the  sons  of  Jacob,  over  the  burial  of  Jacob  at  Machpelah 
(Book  of  Jasher). 

And  David’s  son  Absalom  killed  his  brother  and  David’s 
armour  bearer  J oab  killed  him,  because  the  word  says,  thou 
shalt  love  thine  enemy  and  thou  shalt  not  kill ; vengeance 
is  mine  says  the  Lord,  I will  repay;  under  our  Lord’s  new 
law  of  love  (1st  John  2:8). 


TWO  KINDS  OF  MIRRORS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 
THE  TYPE  AND  THE  ANTITYPE 

Mirrors  are  looking  glasses  for  the  natural  man  to  look 
into  to  see  his  own  reflection  or  likeness  in  the  negative ; 
which  enables  him  to  see  if  his  face  is  clean  and  to  comb 
his  hair  by,  and  dress  by,  for  special  occasions. 

There  were  looking  glasses  in  the  tabernacle  for  the 
priests,  who  had  many  laws  of  washings  and  cleansings,  be- 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


17 


fore  they  could  eat  or  come  near  the  altar  to  minister, 
which  could  only  be  done  when  washed  clean  lest  they  die. 

So  they  had  to  have  a looking  glass ; a type  of  the  word 
of  God  written  on  lines  of  clean  and  unclean ; this  natural 
mirror  is  of  no  use  to  a natural  blind  man,  who  has  no 
eyes  to  see ; but  we  have  never  read  of  a Levite  who  be- 
longed to  the  Levitical  Priesthood  ever  being  blind. 

This  tribe  of  Levi  is  typical  of  our  Lord’s  bride,  and 
Aaron  the  high  priest  is  a type  of  our  Lord ; and  the 
tabernacle  is  a type  of  our  bodies,  a house,  a temple  for 
God  to  dwell  in  (1st  Corinthians  3:16,  17);  after  it  is 
washed,  cleansed,  purified,  made  white  and  sanctified  by 
the  washing  of  water  by  the  word. 

So  Aaron  the  high  priest  in  the  tabernacle  or  house,  is 
a type  of  our  Lord  and  His  bride  after  pentecost,  after 
they  received  His  baptism  of  Spirit  and  Fire.  And  this 
mirror,  God ’s  looking  glass,  is  a type  of  God ’s  word  written 
on  two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters  from  Adam  to 
Christ. 

Every  one  that  will  hear  and  learn  it  will  come  to  Christ 
(John  6:39,  40,  44,  54). 

This  Old  Testament  mirror  is  the  Spiritual  blind  man’s 
eye-opener,  which  is  the  essence  of  the  midnight  cry;  for 
how  can  a man  wake  up  to  see  Spiritual  things  when  we 
have  all  been  Spiritually  blind  alike,  hunting  flaws,  spots 
and  specks,  and  finding  fault  with  one  another ; 

When  the  Lord  said  to  all  such  who  condemned  their  sis- 
ter, a harlot,  to  be  stoned  to  death;  “Let  him  that  is 
without  sin  cast  the  first  stone.” 

So  this  world  has  been  drifting  for  over  one  hundred 
years,  all  deaf,  dumb  and  blind,  without  a Spiritual  man, 
bapcised  with  Spiritual  Fire,  to  teach  us  the  schoolmaster, 
the  two  laws  of  good  and  evil  works  (Romans  3 :27,  28). 

For  this  schoolmaster  separates  the  good,  holy,  clean 
free  son’s  works  of  prophets,  priests  and  kings  from  the 
evil,  unholy,  unclean  bondson’s  works  of  vanity,  which  are 


18 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


destructible  and  a type  of  death.  See  Galatians  4:19-31, 
which  is  a fine  looking  glass. 

If  this  explanation,  which  Paul  gives,  between  the  bond- 
son  and  the  free  son,  is  not  sufficient  to  open  our  eyes,  turn 
to  Matthew  21 :33-41  and  see  what  our  Lord  says  about  the 
wicked  husbandman  of  today,  and  what  He  says  He  will 
do  with  him  in  these  latter  days. 

For  what  our  Lord  says,  about  us  who  mind  earthly 
things  today  are  plain  facts,  knowing  the  whole  world 
would  be  Spiritually  blind,  all  fulfilling  Paul's  prophecy 
in  2nd  Timothy  3 :l-5 ; which  gives  us  a horrible  picture  of 
our  fallen  condition. 

Have  we  not  hundreds  of  sects  today  who  are  all  sinners 
alike?  and  yet  they  are  divided  and  organized,  the  one 
against  the  other.  Is  not  this  modern  Babylon,  which  means 
confusion  ? 

Is  not  this  God's  season,  a time  in  which  God  warned  us 
to  wait  until  His  midnight  cry,  His  eye-opener  should  be 
written  and  made  plain,  so  the  one  who  readeth  could  run  ? 
Many  millions  are  trying  to  run,  who  have  failed  to  hear 
His  warning  voice,  WAIT. 

But  He  has  said  that  He  would  “ visit  us  with  the  in- 
iquity of  our  parents  to  the  third  and  fourth  generations 
of  them  that  hate  Me."  So  this  is  His  season,  a time  set 
for  this  purpose,  ever  since  our  forefathers  helped  to  kill 
all  the  saints.  (See  Fox's  book  of  martyrs.) 

Therefore  this  is  His  Prophetical  season,  as  it  is  written, 
I will  send  a famine  in  the  land,  not  a famine  of  bread  or 
a thirst  for  water ; but  a famine  of  the  hearing  of  the  word 
of  the  Lord.  Man  shall  wander  from  sea  to  sea  and  from 
the  North  to  the  East  to  seek  the  word  of  the  Lord,  but  they 
shall  not  find  it  (see  Amos  8:9-12). 

Is  not  this  a perfect  proof  that  the  prophecy  of  Paul  in 
2nd  Timothy  3:1-5  is  now  being  fulfilled?  and  these  proph- 
ecies are  God's  Spiritual  looking  glasses  to  show  us  our 
horrible  filthy  condition. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


19 


Millions  of  us  religious  sinners,  have  the  same  murderous, 
covetous  money  spirit  in  us  that  our  forefathers  had,  when 
they  helped  the  heathen  gentiles  kill  the  last  saint  on  the 
earth,  just  as  Paul  said  to  Timothy. 

Yes,  millions  will  never  look  into  this  God-sent  looking- 
glass,  called  the  midnight  cry,  long  enough  and  far  enough, 
to  see  the  Eternal  immortal  wealth  at  the  end  of  this  race 
to  a true  know-so  believer ; 

And  the  everlasting  ending  of  a feel-so  or  a think-so 
believer,  who  minds  earthly  things,  who  never  died  to  the 
visible  earthly  things  and  much  less  to  self.  Therefore 
none  of  us  today  can  raise  the  dead,  restore  sight  to  the 
blind,  cast  out  devils,  shut  the  mouths  of  lions,  quench  the 
torturing  fires,  cleanse  the  lepers  nor  do  the  works  our  Lord 
did. 

But  dearest  brothers  and  sisters,  come  let  us  reason  to- 
gether, though  our  sins  be  as  red  as  scarlet  the  Word,  which 
is  Spirit  and  Life,  will  make  us  white  as  wool ; though  they 
be  like  crimson,  the  Word  will  make  them  white  as  snow 
(Isaiah  1:18). 

But  we  must  first  hear  the  Word  of  the  Father  and  learn 
it  and  then  the  Father  will  draw  us  to  His  Son,  after  we 
have  first  learned  it  and  have  forsaken  all  the  evil  in  the 
whole  catalogue  of  sin  and  death.  This  is  true  repentance, 
and  all  such  the  Father  draws  to  His  Son,  and  He  has  prom- 
ised to  raise  them  up  at  the  last  day  and  not  one  cast  out. 

So  this  Old  Testament  looking-glass  makes  no  mistakes, 
when  it  shows  that  we  must  all  be  taught  of  the  Father 
before  we  can  be  raised  up  by  His  Son,  this  His  Son  also 
declares  in  the  sixth  chapter  of  John.  Bead  it  seven  times 
and  then  some. 

For  the  strait  gate  into  the  narrow  road  will  be  impossi- 
ble to  pass  through  for  us  pharisees,  who  think  and  feel 
that  we  are  saved ; and  our  numbers  are  millions,  all  talking, 
teaching,  preaching  and  praying  in  our  sleep,  so  the 
prophet  Isaiah  says  in  chapter  56  :10,  11,  which  is  good  au- 
thority. 


20 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Thousands  of  people  today  say,  I believe  so  and  so,  and 
no  one  can  change  me.  This  was  all  right  before  God’s 
midnight  cry  came  to  wake  us  up,  but  all  who  will  read 
up  and  wake  up  will  not  say  that  any  more ; 

For  all  natural  sane  people  who  love  truth  will  love 
rebuke  and  will  love  the  sharp  word,  which  is  sharper  than 
any  two-edged  sword,  for  it  rightly  divides  the  word,  the 
good  from  the  evil. 

So  the  word  on  the  two  lines  of  characters  cuts  into  the 
joints  and  marrow,  it  is  a good  surgeon,  it  probes  into  the 
sore,  tender  places  which  all  sinners  have ; it  soon  tells 
whether  the  old  first  man  Adam,  the  old  lustful,  covetous 
man  is  dead  to  sin  or  not. 

If  he  is  dead  to  self  he  certainly  is  sanctified,  he  has  been 
washed  and  cleansed  and  drawn  by  the  Father  and  has  re- 
ceived power  from  on  High ; for  this  is  the  works  and  fruit 
of  the  Spirit  to  do  miracles  akin  to  Elijah,  and  live  off  of 
Jesus  Christ,  the  saint’s  altar,  who  is  the  antitype  of  Aaron, 
who  supplied  the  Levites  in  the  tabernacle. 

TWO  KINDS  OF  SACRIFICES 
A LIVING  SACRIFICE,  CLEAN 
AND  WHITE,  READY  FOR  THE 
ALTAR  AND  ACCEPTABLE; 

AND  AN  UNHOLY  SACRIFICE, 
UNWASHED,  UNCLEAN,  AND 
NOT  ACCEPTABLE 

When  you  read  up,  and  wake  up,  and  prove  up,  and 
wash  up,  and  clean  up ; this  article  will  help  you  to  count 
the  cost,  and  then  decide  to  choose  the  strait-gate-line  into 
the  narrow  road. 

All  sinners  are  slaves,  and  all  religious  sinners  are  still 
worse,  for  they  are  cursed  with  a double  destruction,  for 
holding  on  to  vanity,  which  is  hypocrisy  and  mockery  for  a 
professor  (Jeremiah  16:18;  17:18). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


21 


So  we  have  arrived  at  God’s  appointed  time  to  wake  up 
and  learn  what  repentance  means,  and  prepare  to  meet 
our  Lord  at  His  near  coming.  Many  were  purified,  made 
white  and  tried  unto  perfection,  and  the  same  process  which 
it  took  to  perfect  them,  it  will  take  to  perfect  us. 

So  in  order  to  purify  a sinner  and  make  him  white,  God 
has  set  before  us  two  lines  of  living  characters;  a type  of 
His  holy  people,  and  a type  of  His  profane  people  for  our 
example ; He  has  commanded  us  to  hear  it,  and  learn  it,  and 
choose  life  and  live. 

Therefore  in  order  to  choose  this  clean-holy-narrow-road 
life  line,  we  have  to  sacrifice  houses,  lands  and  goods ; we 
have  to  hate  all  natural  visible,  carnal,  unholy  things  before 
we  are  washed  by  the  word,  purified,  made  white  by  the 
word ; this  little  word  sacrifice  tells  it  all. 

"When  a man  learns  the  two  and  two  of  good  and  evil  set 
before  him,  our  Lord  says,  that  this  man  will  come  to  Him 
(John  6:45)  ; because  he  has  waked  up  and  has  eyes  to 
see  the  difference  between  the  clean  and  the  unclean.  Then 
he  is  willing  to  sacrifice  all  things  visible  which  he  possesses 
for  all  things  under  the  sun  are  vanity  and  vexation  of 
spirit  (Ecclesiastes  1:2). 

So  he  sacrifices  his  body  to  the  Lord  for  His  service ; he 
no  longer  belongs  to  himself,  he  is  now  clean,  his  body  is 
now  the  Lord’s  (Romans  12:1,  2).  His  body  is  a living 
sacrifice,  he  is  a whole  burnt  offering,  he  is  a lamb  for  the 
slaughter,  turned  loose  among  wolves  without  purse  or  scrip, 
and  very  few  friends. 

Aaron  is  a type  of  our  Lord,  and  killing  the  bullock  is  a 
type  of  the  letter  that  killeth  (2  Corinthians  3:6).  The 
tabernacle  is  a type  of  our  bodies ; and  the  altar  of  sacrifice 
is  a type  of  our  Lord  also,  and  the  bullock  is  a type  of  a sin- 
ner coming  to  our  Lord  a living  sacrifice,  saved  from  sin. 

The  Levites  are  a type  of  our  Lord’s  followers  after 
pentecost. 

The  bullock  is  a type  of  a sinner,  and  a sinner  is  a type 
of  the  devil,  and  the  devil  under  the  law  of  types  and  shad- 
ows represents  death,  eternal  death. 


22 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Therefore  in  order  to  give  us  a proper  antitype  of  salva- 
tion, the  bullock,  which  is  a type  of  a sinner,  must  die ; and 
the  high  priest,  Aaron,  had  to  kill  him  with  a sharp  sword 
or  knife,  which  is  a type  of  the  sharp  vtord  that  cuts  to  the 
dividing  asunder  of  joint  and  marrow. 

So  the  bullock,  which  represents  the  sinner,  before  being 
killed  had  to  be  cleansed  and  purified  by  sacrifice,  which 
made  him  give  up  his  pasture,  his  relatives,  both  friends 
and  foes,  and  even  his  own  life. 

He  had  to  be  a clean,  holy  sacrifice,  without  sickness  and 
without  blemish ; the  corn  of  wheat  is  also  a type  of  a sin- 
ner, which  must  go  into  the  ground  and  die  before  it  can 
bring  forth  fruit,  or  bear  grain ; so  with  the  sinner,  he  must 
die  to  self  and  all  visible  things  of  this  world. 

So  the  bullock  was  brought  to  Aaron  the  high  priest, 
which  is  the  type  of  a sinner  coming  to  the  Messiah  or 
Christ  after  he  has  heard  and  learned  of  the  Father,  and 
has  been  drawn  by  the  Father  to  His  Son ; Who  is  the  anti- 
type of  Aaron  as  a high  priest,  upon  whom  the  whole  hous<r 
of  Levi  depended  for  support ; So  also  a saint  is  dependent 
upon  Christ  for  his  support. 

So  this  sharp  knife  in  Aaron’s  hand,  with  which  to  slay 
or  kill  the  bullock,  is  a type  of  our  Lord ’s  sharp  word  which 
cuts  to  the  dividing  asunder  of  joint  and  marrow.  So  let 
us  see  it  demonstrated.  Our  Lord  says,  Go  and  sell  that 
thou  hast  and  give  to  the  poor,  and  come  and  follow  Me. 

This  word  is  too  sharp  for  this  generation,  for  it  cuts  right 
into  all  the  natural  man’s  living.  Again,  here  comes  an- 
other slash  with  the  sharp  sword : Whosoever  there  be  that 
forsaketh  not  all  that  he  hath,  he  cannot  be  My  disciple 
(Luke  14:33). 

The  bullock’s  sacrifice  is  a type  of  a sinner  coming  to 
Christ.  And  Aaron’s  sharp  knife,  that  killed  the  bullock 
and  cut  off  his  head,  is  a type  of  His  sharp  word  which  de- 
stroys the  sinner’s  carnal  mind  and  tames  his  untamed 
tongue  (see  James  3:5-15);  and  destroys  the  mouth  that 
blasphemes  against  God  (2nd  Timothy  3 :l-5).  This  is  the 

WASHING  OF  REGENERATION  BY  THE  WORD. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


23 


This  knife  severed  the  old  hide  from  the  bullock ; a type 
of  the  sinner’s  pride,  the  outer  adorning;  the  cutting  out 
of  the  heart  of  the  bullock  is  a type  of  the  changing  of  a 
sinner’s  heart  from  a heart  of  stone  to  a saint’s  holy  heart 
of  love ; a heart  to  love  Him  with  his  whole  heart,  soul, 
mind  and  strength,  and  his  neighbor  as  himself. 

Then  the  bullock’s  bowels  were  taken  out,  a type  of  a 
sinner  having  new  bowels  of  mercy  put  into  his  clean  vessel 
to  be  a holy  temple  for  the  Lord  to  dwell  in ; for  He  dwell- 
eth  not  in  temples  made  with  hands  (see  Leviticus  4 :11,  12  ; 
Colossians  3:12,  13;  Acts  7 :48). 

So  the  high  priest  had  to  cut  off  the  legs  of  the  bullock 
and  take  with  it  the  skin  and  all  his  flesh  with  his  head 
and  all  his  inwards,  except  the  blood,  the  fat,  and  the  two 
kidneys,  for  this  is  the  Lord’s  portion. 

Even  the  whole  bullock  shall  he  carry  forth  without  the 
camp,  where  the  ashes  are  poured  out,  and  burned  with 
fire,  on  an  altar  of  wood ; which  to  me  is  a type  of  the  lake' 
of  fire. 

He  giveth  to  the  beast  his  food  and  to  the  young  ravens 
which  cry.  He  delighteth  not  in  the  strength  of  the  horse ; 
He  taketh  not  pleasure  in  the  legs  of  a man ; because  He 
knows  that  His  people  Israel  have  made  slaves  of  them- 
selves running  to  and  fro  hunting  for  vanity,  and  wearing 
out  soul,  body  and  legs;  and  also  wearing  out  our  horses’ 
strength  by  the  millions,  to  satisfy  the  lusts  of  the  flesh,  to 
feed  our  earthly  gods  with  vanity. 

For  it  is  written,  it  is  not  by  power  neither  is  it  by  might 
(of  man’s  strength)  ; but  by  My  Spirit  saith  the  Lord.  So 
He  says,  cursed  be  the  man  that  trusteth  in  man,  and  mak- 
eth  flesh  his  arm  (or  his  support)  : this  we  have  all  done, 
for  it  is  natural. 

Therefore  our  Lord  has  said,  I will  come  into  you  and 
take  up  My  abode  with  you  and  I will  walk  in  you,  and  I 
will  lead  you  into  all  truth,  and  teach  you  all  things;  and 
give  you  leisure  of  time  and  supply  all  your  needs. 

So  hear  it,  and  learn  it  and  choose  it  and  prove  it  by 
sacrifice,  which  is  true  repentance.

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Written  by  a babe,  one  of  God’s  weak,  foolish,  despised 
and  base  things  of  this  world,  a lover  of  practical  truth. 
(Matthew  11 :25). 


TWO  KINDS  OF  SEASONS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

God  has  a season,  a time  for  every  work  under  the  heav- 
ens. He  has  a season  of  over  4000  years  in  which  He  set 
before  us  His  preparation  in  types  and  shadows,  patterns, 
plans  and  specifications. 

First,  for  a tabernacle,  then  for  a house  or  temple,  made 
clean  and  holy,  a type  or  shadow  pointing  to  our  body, 
which  is  the  antitype  or  substance. 

This  natural  pattern  of  a tabernacle  and  temple,  is  God’s 
preparation,  a schoolmaster  to  teach  us  how  to  learn  His 
two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters,  and  then  be  wise  and 
choose  life  and  live. 

So  we  are  God ’s  house  for  Christ  to  live  in,  except  we  be 
reprobates  and  fail  to  sweep  and  garnish  our  house  and 
make  it  clean  and  holy,  for  He  cannot  enter  any  unclean 
house. 

Therefore  this  preparation  season  of  over  4000  years, 
God  set  before  us  is  a perfect  wmrk;  no  man  can  or  dare 
find  any  fault  with  it  whatever,  for  the  holy  line  of  free 
sons  represents  the  life-line  and  the  unholy  line  of  bondsons 
represents  the  death  line. 

/«nd  millions  of  all  nations  heard  and  learned  this  prep- 
aration of  the  Father  and  were  drawn  by  the  Father  to 
Christ,  and  He  says,  He  will  raise  them  up  at  the  last  day. 

So  the  Father’s  preparation  had  to  be  perfected  at  the 
death  of  His  Son,  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  when  He 
(Christ)  said,  4 'It  is  finished”  the  earth  did  quake  and  the 
heavens  turned  black. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


25 


Then  another  season  commenced,  which  was  the  sub- 
stance, old  things  all  passed  away  as  soon  as  the  door  of 
mercy  was  opened,  and  men  presented  their  bodies,  to  the 
Lord,  a living  sacrifice,  clean  and  holy,  without  spot  or 
blemish. 

Then  the  Holy  Spirit  filled  their  holy  temple,  then  they 
received  their  new  birth,  then  their  bodies  were  a whole 
burnt  offering,  meet  for  the  Master’s  use.  Then  they  were 
not  their  own,  then  they  could  not  labor  any  more  for  per- 
ishable things  (John  6:27),  neither  could  they  be  servants 
of  men. 

Then  the  signs  followed  them  that  believed  (Mark  16:15 
to  18)  ; then  they  had  all  things  in  common  (Acts  2:44)  ; 
then  they  were  whipped,  stoned,  persecuted  and  killed. 
Then  they  all  gloried  in  tribulation,  for  they  had  all  power 
with  God  over  all  flesh. 

And  this  glorious  heaven-bought  season  lasted  down 
through  the  ages  for  over  1700  years,  when  our  Lord’s 
number  was  full.  And  they  all  fell  asleep  as  Stephen  did. 

In  1780  A.  D.,  when  the  last  saint  was  martyred,  there 
was  an  earthquake  and  the  sun  turned  as  black  as  sack- 
cloth of  hair,  just  as  it  did  when  Christ  said,  “It  is  fin- 
ished”; the  sun  is  a type  of  our  Lord,  and  the  door  of 
mercy  was  shut  from  that  time  to  this  day  with  a time-key 
in  order  to  fulfill  prophecy. 

The  moon  became  as  blood ; the  moon  is  a type  of  our 
Lord’s  Bride,  and  its  becoming  like  blood  symbolizes  the 
millions  who  died  martyrs. 

And  the  stars  falling  from  heaven  is  a type  of  another 
change  having  taken  place,  viz.,  us  sinners  falling  away 
from  grace,  falling  away  from  our  Lord’s  discipline,  His 
sermon  on  the  Mount  (Matthew  5th,  6th  and  7th  chapters). 

A time,  a season  of  falling  into  strong  God-sent  delusions, 
as  it  is  written,  My  people  are  destroyed  for  lack  of 
knowledge  (Hosea4:6). 


26 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


TWO  KINDS  OF  JUDGES 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

The  natural  judge,  in  order  to  do  justice  to  his  fellow 
man,  must  first  hear  and  learn  the  natural  laws  of  his 
country,  of  good  and  evil,  before  he  can  render  righteous 
judgment. 

So  in  like  manner  on  the  Spiritual  line,  in  order  to  know 
the  Spiritaul  light  from  the  Spiritual  darkness,  we  must 
first  learn  to  know  that  we  have  all  been  Spiritually  asleep 
according  to  the  word  of  prophecy  and  must  be  woke  up. 

Then  in  order  to  be  a Spiritual  judge  we  must  hear  and 
learn  the  two  lines  which  the  Father  set  before  us,  of  good 
and  evil  characters  from  Adam  to  the  birth  and  death  of 
our  Messiah  called  the  Christ,  and  be  drawn  by  the  Father 
to  Him. 

Adam  had  two  sons,  Cain  and  Abel,  Abraham  had  two 
sons  Ishmael  and  Isaac,  and-  Isaac  had  two  sons,  Esau  and 
Jacob,  the  one  against  the  other.  On  these  two  lines  hinges 
life  and  death,  blessing  and  cursing;  and  no  man  can  be  a 
Spiritual  wise  judge  except  he  hears  them  and  learns  them 
both,  then  his  eyes  will  be  opened,  then  lie  can  distinguish 
the  profane,  unholy  bondson  line  from  the  holy  free-son 
line. 

So  we  see  all  things  are  double,  one  thing  against  the 
other,  and  God  hath  made  nothing  imperfect.  One  thing 
established  the  good  of  another,  and  who  shall  be  filled 
with  beholding  His  glory?  (Ecclesiasticus  42:24,  25  Apoc.) 

All  men  that  take  pleasure  in  the  word,  as  God  has  rightly 
divided  it  and  set  it  before  us  on  the  two  separate  lines  of 
good  and  evil  characters,  will  behold  His  eternal  glory  in 
his  immortal  Eternity  eternally. 

For  the  Old  Testament  is  our  schoolmaster  to  wake  us 
up,  and  the  two  Covenants  or  laws  given  to  Abraham,  in 
Ishmael  and  Isaac,  the  bondson  and  the  free  son,  gives  us 


MIDNIGHT  CEY  27 

two  separate  kinds  of  works,  viz.,  visible,  natural,  profane, 
unholy  works  of  vanity,  a type  of  sin  and  death ; 

And  also  the  invisible,  holy  Spiritual  works  of  faith, 
which  our  Lord  did  himself,  and  said  we  should  do  His 
works  and  not  work  for  perishable  things  (John  6 :27),  and 
that  we  should  do  even  greater  works  (John  14 :12 ; Romans 
3:27,  28). 

Now  it  is  easy  to  judge  righteous  judgment,  when  one 
wakes  up  by  hearing,  and  learning,  and  seeing  a thing  set 
before  us  so  plain  as  God  has  given  us  His  two  and  two  in 
all  things,  and  most  especially  the  two  Covenants  given  to 
Abraham  (Gal.  4:19-31),  representing  life  and  death, 
heaven  and  hell,  a lake  of  fire,  the  place  of  destruction  of 
the  wicked.  Know  therefore  that  they  which  are  of  faith, 
the  same  are  the  children  of  Abraham ; but  as  many  as  are 
under  the  law  are  under  the  curse. 

When  we  learn  these  two  and  two,  we  then  can  see  our 
blind  ignorance,  we  then  are  wise,  we  then  are  clean,  we 
then  can  choose  the  invisible  strait-gate  way  into  God’s 
narrow  road. 

We  then  are  wise  like  Solomon,  who  proved  all  things 
for  you  and  me,  and  we  have  become  pliable  clay  in  the 
Potter’s  hands,  Who  then  will  draw  us  to  His  Son  to  be 
made  a vessel  unto  honor.  A priest  and  a king  (Revelations 
1:6).  Then  we  can  judge  righteous  judgment  as  soon  as 
we  receive  the  new  birth  of  Spirit  and  fire,  which  gives  us 
power  to  do  His  works.  Well  hallelujah,  it  will  not  always 
tarry,  but  will  come  at  His  appointed  time  (Habakkuk 
2:2,3). 


TWO  KINDS  OF  PROPHETS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

It  is  written  in  the  Old  Testament  of  types  and  shadows 
of  two  kinds  of  prophets,  which  God  has  set  before  us  as  well 
as  other  things  on  the  two  and  two,  since  the  door  of  mercy 
was  shut  and  the  land  has  become  barren  of  faith,  and  men 


28 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


die  under  the  curse  with  all  manner  of  diseases,  how  can 
we  expect  to  see  anything  else  but  false  prophets  in  the 
land? 

So  we,  blind  false  prophets,  of  this  day  called  believers  in 
God,  having  the  three  unclean  spirits  like  frogs,  (Revela- 
tions 16  :13,  14),  are  the  antitype  of  those  450  Baal  prophets 
whom  Elijah,  God's  prophet,  killed  (see  1st  Kings  18:22- 
40). 

For  Israel  were  all  bowing  down  to  Baalim,  a type  of  us 
Israelites  today  who  have  a form  of  godliness  but  deny  the 
power  thereof ; for  we  are  all  sinners  alike  because  we  mind 
earthly  things. 

So  Elijah  told  Ahab  to  send  and  gather  all  Israel  unto 
Mount  Carmel  and  the  prophets  of  Baal  450  and  the 
prophets  of  the  grove  400,  who  ate  at  Jezebel's  table  during 
the  famine. 

So  Ahab  did  what  Elijah  said  and  gathered  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  and  the  prophets  together  unto  Mount  Car- 
mel ; and  when  Enoch  and  Elijah  the  two  witnesses  come,  at 
the  time  of  the  great  siege,  we  that  live  will  see  the  antitype 
of  all  this  demonstrated,  which  is  written  in  the  18th  chap- 
ter of  1st  Kings. 

Elijah  came  unto  all  the  people  and  said,  How  long  halt 
ye  between  two  opinions  ? If  the  Lord  be  God,  follow  Him ; 
but  if  Baal,  then  follow  him.  So  Elijah  and  the  450  false 
prophets  demonstrated  the  difference  between  the  natural 
false  prophets  and  Elijah,  God's  Spiritual  man,  the  type  of 
a saint. 

This  is  what  we,  Israelites,  have  been  bowing  down  to  ever 
since  we  came  into  the  world,  for  the  words  of  Elijah's  God 
have  never  been  practiced  in  our  day ; and  since  that  time 
we  have  all  been  gold  worshipers. 

Then  said  Elijah,  I,  even  I only,  remain  a prophet  of  the 
Lord;  but  Baal’s  prophets  are  four  hundred  and  fifty  men. 
Let  them  therefore  give  us  two  bullocks ; and  let  them 
choose  one  bullock  for  themselves,  and  cut  it  in  pieces,  and 
lay  it  on  wood,  and  put  no  fire  under : 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


29 


And  I will  dress  the  other  bullock,  and  lay  it  on  wood, 
and  put  no  fire  under:  and  call  ye  on  the  name  of  your 
gods,  and  I will  call  on  the  name  of  the  Lord : and  the  God 
that  answereth  by  fire,  let  him  be  God.  And  all  the  people 
answered  and  said,  It  is  well  spoken. 

And  Elijah  said  unto  the  prophets  of  Baal,  choose  you 
one  bullock  for  yourselves,  and  dress  it  first;  for  ye  are 
many ; and  call  on  the  name  of  your  gods,  but  put  no  fire 
under. 

And  they  took  the  bullock,  and  dressed  it  and  called  on 
the  name  of  Baal  from  morning  even  until  noon,  0 Baal 
hear  us.  But  there  was  no  voice  answered. 

And  it  came  to  pass  at  noon,  that  Elijah  mocked  them, 
and  said,  cry  aloud : for  he  is  a god ; either  he  is  talking 
or  he  is  in  a journey,  or  peradventure  he  sleepeth.  And 
they  cried  aloud  and  cut  themselves  with  lances,  till  the 
blood  gushed  out  but  to  no  effect. 

And  at  the  time  of  the  offering  of  the  evening  sacrifice, 
Elijah  said  unto  the  people,  Come  near  to  me.  And  all  the 
people  came  near  unto  him.  And  he  prepared  his  altar 
and  took  twelve  stones,  according  to  the  number  of  the  sons 
of  Jacob,  unto  whom  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  saying, 
Israel  shall  be  thy  name. 

And  with  the  stones  he  built  an  altar  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord:  and  he  made  a trench  about  the  altar,  as  great  as 
would  contain  two  measures  of  seed. 

And  he  put  the  wood  in  order,  and  cut  the  bullock  in 
pieces,  and  laid  him  on  the  wood,  and  said,  fill  four  barrels 
of  water,  and  pour  it  on  the  burnt  sacrifice  and  on  the  wood. 

And  he  said,  do  it  the  second  time  and  they  did  it,  and 
he  said  do  it  the  third  time  and  they  did  it  the  third  time. 
And  the  water  ran  round  about  the  altar ; and  he  filled  the 
trench  also  with  water. 

Then  the  prophet  Elijah  came  near  and  said,  Lord  God 
of  Abraham,  Isaac,  and  of  Israel,  let  it  be  known  this  day 
that  thou  art  God  in  Israel,  and  that  I have  done  all  these 
things  at  Thy  word. 

Hear  me,  0 Lord,  hear  me,  that  this  people  may  know 


30 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


that  Thou  art  the  Lord  God,  and  that  Thou  hast  turned 
their  heart  back  again. 

And  this  is  my  fervent  prayer,  Oh  Lord  that  this  message 
of  Elijah  may  open  our  eyes  and  turn  thousands  of  us 
Israelites  back  again  from  the  worship  of  the  golden  calf 
to  worship  Him  who  made  the  gold. 

Then  the  fire  of  the  Lord  fell,  and  consumed  the  burnt 
sacrifice  and  the  wood,  and  the  stones  and  the  dust,  and 
licked  up  the  water  in  the  trench. 

This  type  signifies  the  baptism  of  Spirit  and  fire  poured 
out  on  all  of  our  Lord  ’s  followers : they  had  to  be  a living 
sacrifice,  a whole  burnt  offering,  before  they  could  receive 
the  new  birth; 

And  when  God’s  fire  is  poured  out  upon  His  sacrifice  we 
must  remember  that  God  is  a consuming  fire,  and  when  God 
comes  into  a man,  fire  cannot  burn  him  and  beasts  or 
nothing  can  hurt  him  while  God  is  in  him. 

And  when  all  the  people  saw  this,  they  fell  on  their  faces : 
and  they  said,  The  Lord,  He  is  God ; the  Lord,  He  is  God. 
And  they  took  the  prophets  of  Baal,  and  Elijah  slew  them 
at  the  brook  Kishon. 

So  Elijah  prophesied  there  should  be  an  abundance  of 
rain,  which  ended  a three  year  famine,  a type  of  a three 
year  famine  not  very  far  off  today. 

Is  not  this  the  faith  works  of  Aaron  and  Moses  and  Solo- 
mon, who  called  fire  down  from  heaven?  (see  Leviticus  9: 
24 ; 1st  Kings  18  :38 ; 2nd  Chronicles  7:1).  Please  look  them 
up,  and  you  will  see  these  three  men  of  God  had  power  to 
call  fire  down  from  heaven. 

Elijah  shut  the  windows  of  heaven  that  it  did  not  rain 
for  three  years,  Joshua  stopped  the  sun  from  going  down 
for  twenty- four  hours ; Daniel  shut  the  mouths  of  lions  and 
the  three  Hebrew  children  quenched  the  violence  of  the  fire. 

And  many  miraculous  faith  works  were  wrought  out  on 
God’s  holy  line  of  prophets,  priests  and  kings  from  Adam  to 
John  the  Baptist.  See  proof,  read  Hebrews  the  11th  Chap- 
ter. 

All  these  being  only  a type  and  a shadow  of  our  Lord’s 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


31 


power  for  it  is  written,  God  having  provided  some  better 
thing  for  us,  that  they  without  us  should  not  be  made 
perfect  (Hebrews  11:40). 

Dear  reader,  is  not  this  positive  proof  that  we  have  never 
seen  the  shadow  of  a Saint  in  all  these  years  of  our  lives? 
for  it  is  also  written  that  the  least  in  our  Lord’s  kingdom 
is  greater  than  these  wise  prophets. 

Say  brother,  what  have  we  been  doing  in  our  lifetime,  and 
what  are  we  doing  now,  and  what  will  we  do  in  the  near 
future  ? 

What  can  a man  do  for  his  neighbor,  who  is  slumbering 
and  sleeping  and  will  not  try  to  wake  up,  even  when  God’s 
message,  the  midnight  cry  has  come  to  his  door? 

To  be  Spiritually  asleep  and  not  conscious  of  the  fact  is 
ten  times  worse  than  having  leprosy ; to  enter  into  judgment 
before  a just  God  and  all  his  holy  angels,  naked  as  old  Adam 
and  Eve  were  after  they  had  sinned,  is  too  horrible  to  think 
about. 

Millions  have  died  of  the  Jews  and  of  us  ten  tribes  of 
Israelites,  called  God’s  people,  for  lack  of  knowledge  (see 
Hosea  4:6),  having  the  mark  and  the  number  666  of  the 
three  unclean  beasts  (Revelations  16:13);  viz.  Political, 
Ecclesiastical,  and  Fraternal  power. 

Millions  will  stand  before  this  great  tribunal  Judge,  who 
have  been  bewitched  by  having  subscribed  to  one  or  more 
of  these  666  numbers. 

Millions  unaware  of  the  fact  belong  to  this  666  ring,  try- 
ing to  climb  up  on  this  Babylonian  heathen  tower  to  heaven, 
and  God  calls  them  thieves  and  robbers. 

It  has  been  said  that  this  tower  which  Nimrod  started  to 
build  to  heaven  was  666  feet  high  when  God  stopped  it  and 
confused  them  all ; which  is  a type  of  the  apostate  church  of 
today,  called  modern  Babylon  which  is  about  to  fall. 

Millions  have  the  mark  or  the  number  of  his  name  666, 
who  will  never  take  leisure  of  time  to  investigate  their  own 
blind  stupid  know-nothing  condition  because  it  is  a prophet- 
ical day,  a day  like  unto  the  days  of  Noah  and  Sodom. 

No  language  can  wake  up  modern  Babylon  without  a 


32 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


separation  any  more  than  language  can  change  an  eagle ’s  or 
a vulture’s  or  a chicken’s  carnal  filthy  appetite.  As  for 
Babylon,  the  divided  organized  sects,  God  says,  come  out 
from  among  them  and  be  ye  separate,  and  touch  not  the 
unclean  thing ; for  they  have  become  a cage  of  every  unclean 
and  hateful  bird  (Revelations  18:2-6  and  2nd  Corinthians 
6:14-18). 

Here  is  a thought  dear  brother,  what  comfort  can  I or 
you  get  out  of  any  one  after  death  when  we  are  in  a lake  of 
fire  and  brimstone?  But  this  same  old  serpent  which 
beguiled  Eve  has  cradled  us  to  sleep  ever  since  martyrdom 
ceased ; 

And  has  made  us  the  enemies  of  the  cross  of  Christ,  as 
our  forefathers  were  who  helped  kill  our  Lord  and  millions 
of  saints  until  all  were  killed. 

And  we  have  had  no  lambs  for  the  slaughter  for  one 
hundred  and  forty  years,  yet  we  have  the  same  spirit  of 
hatred  against  the  few  lovers  of  the  cross  of  Christ  that  our 
forefathers  had  from  pentecost  to  1780  A.  D. 

TWO  KINDS  OF  PRIESTS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

The  natural  priest  is  one  who  officiates  in  sacred  offices, 
especially  by  offering  sacrifices  for  the  sins  of  the  people. 

Aaron  was  the  high  priest  and  his  sons  were  the  priests 
of  the  Lord’s  house  of  Levi.  Aaron  offered  natural  sacri- 
fices, wdiich  were  a type  of  Jesus  Christ  who  offered  himself 
a sacrifice  once  for  all  His  followers,  who  also  offered  their 
bodies  a living  sacrifice  (Romans  12:1,  2). 

But  after  Aaron’s  death  one  of  his  sons  became  high 
priest  in  his  stead  and  ruled  over  the  tabernacle,  God’s 
house,  which  house  is  a type  of  our  bodies,  which  is  a temple 
for  Jesus  Christ  to  live  in  after  we  have  been  purified  and 
made  white. 

In  these  two  characters  we  can  see  the  difference  between 
the  natural  perishable  tabernacle  or  temple  which  is  the 
type ; and  a house  not  made  with  hands  which  is  the  anti-

type : but  a house  made  of  lively  stones,  which  is  a holy 
temple  for  God,  for  He  dwelleth  not  in  temples  made  with 
hands. 

For  it  is  written,  ye  also,  as  lively  stones,  are  built  up  a 
Spiritual  house,  a holy  priesthood,  to  offer  up  Spiritual 
sacrifices,  acceptable  to  God  by  Jesus  Christ  (1st  Peter 
2:5). 

This  Priesthood  belonged  to  the  Levitical  family,  Aaron 
and  every  succeeding  high  priest  was  a type  of  Jesus 
Christ ; and  the  Levitical  family  was  a type  of  His  followers, 
who  could  have  no  inheritance  on  this  earth. 

Therefore  the  Father  made  the  twelve  tribes  of  Israel  pay 
one  tenth  of  all  their  accumulations  to  His  house,  which 
was  for  the  support  of  the  Levitical  family,  and  this  family 
is  a type  of  our  Lord’s  followers  who  live  by  faith  in  His 
word. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  KINGS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 
THE  TYPE  AND  THE  ANTITYPE 

In  the  natural  world  God  has  given  us  a line  of  natural 
kings  to  rule  over  His  chosen  people,  viz.,  the  Israelites,  the 
twelve  sons  of  Jacob. 

The  first  king  anointed  by  the  prophet  Samuel  was  Saul, 
who  had  no  faith  in  God,  but  bowed  down  to  the  witch  of 
Endor. 

He  is  a type  of  the  kings  of  the  earth  today  who  seek 
familiar  spirits,  who  try  to  call  up  the  dead  who  know 
nothing  (Ecclesiastes  9:5). 

King  Saul  lost  his  kingdom  and  also  his  life,  like  millions 
of  others  who  bow  down  to  witches,  wizards,  sooth  sayers, 
mind  readers,  magicians,  and  many  others  whose  numbers 
are  hundreds. 

John  says  they  are  spirits  of  devils  working  miracles, 
which  go  forth  unto  the  kings  of  the  earth  and  of  the 


34 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


whole  world,  to  gather  them  to  the  battle  of  that  great  day 
of  God  Almighty  (Revelation  16:14). 

God  raised  up  king  David,  a man  after  God ’s  own  heart ; 
he  committed  sin,  but  he  repented  in  sackcloth  and  ashes 
and  never  did  the  like  any  more. 

He  was  a type  of  charity,  the  highest  degree  of  love  ; 
when  Shimei  cursed  the  king  and  stoned  him,  the  king’s 
officers  desired  to  kill  him  (Shimei),  but  king  David  said 
No,  do  not  touch  him,  for  God  sent  him  here  to  curse  and 
stone  me. 

This  is  a type  of  a Christian,  for  when  they  are  cursed  and 
whipped  and  imprisoned,  or  stoned,  or  burned  at  the  stake, 
instead  of  complaining,  they  gloried  in  it  because  they  had 
God  in  them,  who  has  power  over  all  flesh. 

God  next  raised  up  king  Solomon,  the  son  of  David,  and 
made  him  a ruler  over  Israel  for  forty  years,  the  same  as 
his  father  David.  God  made  him  very  rich  in  this  world’s 
goods;  and  Solomon  took  seven  hundred  wives  and  three 
hundred  concubines  or  servants,  making  1000  women  in  all. 

God  gave  Solomon  great  wisdom  in  natural  things,  for 
he  had  to  prove  all  things  in  order  to  know  them ; but  God 
gave  him  natural  zeal  and  energy  to  do  it.  And  Solomon 
pronounced  everything  vanity  and  vexation  of  spirit  which 
was  under  the  sun  (Ecclesiastes  1:2,  3). 

For  God  giveth  to  them  that  are  good  in  His  sight  wisdom 
and  knowledge  and  joy;  but  to  the  sinner  He  giveth  travail 
to  gather  and  to  heap  up  that  he  may  have  to  give  to  them 
that  are  good  before  God.  This  is  also  vanity  and  vexation 
of  spirit  (Ecclesiastes  2:26). 

Solomon’s  wives  are  a type  of  the  Spiritual  Bride  of 
Jesus  Christ,  and  his  concubines  are  a type  of  our  Lord’s 
servants  that  will  soon  be  killed,  just  as  His  Bride  was 
killed  (Revelation  6:11). 

So  let  us  be  wise  and  train  our  ears  to  hear  and  wake  up 
and  learn  how  to  live  by  faith  and  do  our  Lord’s  works 
to  the  end  (Revelation  3rd  chapter).

TWO  KINDS  OF  SHEPHERDS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

God  has  set  before  ns  two  kinds  of  shepherds,  the  natural 
and  the  Spiritual;  the  natural  shepherd  occupies  all  his 
time  looking  after  his  sheep,  and  the  sheep  hear  his  voice 
and  they  know  him. 

This  natural  shepherd’s  work  was  to  feed  his  lambs  and 
sheep,  a type  of  a good  Spiritual  Shepherd,  who  would 
feed  his  lambs  and  sheep,  and  lay  down  his  life  for  the 
sheep. 

This  kind  of  Spiritual  Shepherd  ceased  to  live  when  the 
last  of  them  was  martyred  about  140  years  ago ; since  that 
time  the  so-called  shepherds  feed  not  the  sheep  by  teach- 
ing them  the  faith  of  Jesus  Christ;  but  keep  them  under 
the  law  of  sin  and  death  and  demand  a salary  to  pay  all 
their  natural  needs. 

And  this  deprives  the  shepherds  and  their  sheep  from 
hearing  and  learning  God’s  two  lines  of  good  and  evil 
characters,  even  if  they  had  been  awake  instead  of  asleep. 

But  it  is  of  no  use  to  try  to  reform,  God’s  season  is  here, 
and  we  must  hear  and  learn  the  Father’s  midnight  cry  and 
wake  up ; then  we  will  see  our  Spiritual  blindness  during 
God’s  season  of  Spiritual  darkness  (Amos  5:18,  20,  23),  a 
time  of  Spiritual  falling  away  into  delusions  and  confu- 
sions (see  2nd  Thessalonians  2:1  to  12). 

This  is  a day  of  somnambulists  (sleep  walkers  and  talk- 
ers) all  alike,  for  so  it  is  written;  His  watchmen  are  blind: 
they  are  all  ignorant,  they  are  all  dumb  dogs,  they  cannot 
bark;  sleeping,  lying  down,  loving  to  slumber. 

Yea,  they  are  greedy  dogs  which  can  never  have  enough, 
and  they  are  shepherds  that  cannot  understand : they  all 
look  to  their  own  way,  every  one  for  his  gain  (his  salary), 
from  his  quarters  (Isaiah  56  :10,  11). 

Just  think  of  our  terrible  condition ; for  over  100  years 
we  have  all  been  Spiritually  blind,  like  dumb  dogs  which 


I 


36 


MIDNIGHT  CEY 


cannot  bark,  shepherds  loving  to  sleep,  all  of  us  trying  to 
bark  in  our  sleep  from  over  200  man-made  disciplines,  no 
two  barking  alike. 

Truly,  truly,  this  is  all  confusion,  and  a strong  God-sent 
delusion ; for  God  has  warned  us  shepherds  to  wait ; but 
alas,  alas,  there  have  been  millions  lost  and  millions  more  on 
the  broad  road  to  death ; so  stop  and  think,  and  act  wisely 
and  wake  up  and  behold  our  horrible  condition. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  SHEEP 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 
THE  TYPE  AND  THE  ANTITYPE 

God  has  two  kinds  of  sheep ; He  says  of  all  the  beasts  of 
the  field,  He  hallowed  only  one  sheep  (2nd  Esdras  5:26 
Apocrypha). 

Very  seldom  if  ever,  that  a sheep  or  a lamb  makes  a 
noise  with  its  mouth,  though  it  be  eaten  alive : why  is  it  ? 
Because  God  has  all  power  over  all  flesh,  and  He  made  it  so. 

Men  are  sometimes  called  wolves  in  sheep ’s  clothing,  they 
call  themselves  holy  saints,  and  they  killed  all  of  our  Lord ’s 
.bride,  whom  they  called  heretics,  and  we  cannot  tell  what 
we  are,  before  we  wake  up  or  be  stirred  up. 

Did  not  our  Lord  tell  us  that  they  would  kill  Him  and 
also  all  His  followers  and  think  they  were  doing  God  a 
service?  Well,  hallelujah,  when  our  better  day  comes,  then 
we  can  glory  in  tribulations  as  they  did  for  over  1700  years. 

They  were  all  lambs  for  the  slaughter,  meet  for  the  mas- 
ter’s use;  these  millions  were  tried  in  the  fire,  but  no  fire 
could  burn  them,  for  God  was  in  them  a consuming  fire ; 
and  lions  could  not  devour  them,  for  the  three  Hebrew 
children  and  Daniel  are  our  pattern  in  natural  things  and 
God  was  wfith  them. 

But  our  Lord’s  bride  had  the  spirit  of  fire  in  them,  which 
is  a consuming  fire,  water  cannot  put  it  out,  because  God 
made  the  water  and  the  fires  and  the  lions  and  allowed  His 


MIDNIGHT  CEY  37 

blind,  wicked  men,  who  love  the  works  of  the  devil,  to  do 
anything  they  wished  in  the  way  of  persecutions. 

But  He  promised  His  bride,  and  also  the  servants,  that 
nothing  could  hurt  them  and  that  they  should  never  see 
death;  and  this  they  believed  (John  8:51).  These  will 
shine  as  the  stars  forever  and  ever. 

And  these  forefathers  of  ours  who  are  Israelites,  will 
come  before  the  great  Tribunal  Judge  naked,  to  be  cast 
alive  into  a lake  of  fire  and  brimstone,  for  obeying  the 
heathen  worship  and  helping  kill  the  saints,  the  only  true 
friends  they  had  on  earth ; but  the  poor  blind  souls  did  not 
know  it. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  HUNTERS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

Over  one  hundred  years  have  passed  and  we  have  all 
been  born  alike,  natural  born  hunters  for  the  mighty  dollar, 
for  we  were  trained  at  home  and  abroad,  in  school  and  in 
church,  that  the  ten  commandment  law  was  made  for  just 
men,  and  that  God  helped  them  that  helped  themselves ; and 
this  is  true  for  the  bondson,  but  not  for  the  free  son. 

We  have  all  been  cradled  to  sleep  since  martyrdom 
ceased,  believing  what  our  parents,  preachers,  and  school 
teachers  taught  us,  since  we  were  born  to  all  hunt  for  our 
living. 

Therefore  it  is  written,  train  up  a child  in  the  way  he 
shall  go,  and  when  he  gets  old,  he  will  not  depart  from  it ; 
and  this  has  been  characteristic  of  all  men  for  over  one 
hundred  years. 

Many  are  living  to  be  from  seventy  to  ninety  years  old, 
who  never  saw  a holy,  sinless  saint,  who  quit  laboring  for 
the  perishable  things  as  our  Lord  warned  us  (John  6:27). 

Millions  quit  this  beastly  line  of  work,  and  came  on  the 
line  of  faith  works  after  pentecost  down  to  1780  A.  D.,  but 
these  money  and  blood  hunters  killed  them  off  as  fast  as 


38- 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


our  Lord  made  them  perfect  even  as  He  is  perfect 
(Matthew  5 :48). 

This  is  the  reason  why  we  have  no  sinless  saints  for  the 
past  140  years;  our  Lord’s  bride  made  herself  ready  about 
four  generations  ago,  figuring  thirty-five  years  to  a genera- 
tion; so  the  time  of  our  waiting  is  about  expired.  And 
God’s  preparation  is  come  at  its  appointed  time  to  wake  us 
up  for  this  is  what  He  warned  us  to  wait  for. 

Therefore  He  will  have  His  elect  and  all  that  will  read 
this  Father’s  Message  or  discipline  will  come  to  Jesus 
Christ,  and  He  will  raise  them  at  the  last  day. 

And  these  will  all  be  Spiritual  hunters  when  woke  up, 
living  by  faith,  hunting  for  the  old  hidden  lost  path,  called 
the  strait  gate  into  the  narrow  road,  in  order  to  help  save 
others. 

And  no  man  has  found  it  since  our  forefathers  helped 
kill  our  Lord’s  bride,  and  we,  their  great  grand  children, 
have  been  visited  with  this  blindness,  this  falling  away  ever 
since. 

So  let  us  change  our  minds  and  learn  this  message  and 
wake  up,  and  lay  aside  our  slavery,  and  learn  to  live  by  His 
faith  once  delivered  unto  the  saints. 

And  then  take  up  our  cross,  and  run  with  the  message, 
and  cry  aloud  and  spare  no  man  until  made  perfect  even 
as  He  is  perfect. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  MYSTERIES 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

The  natural  man  speaks  of  his  scientific  works  of  his  own 
natural  wisdom,  which  is  marvelous  in  the  sight  of  men, 
and  yet  it  is  all  perishable  and  very  much  of  it  will  soon 
come  to  naught  according  to  prophecy. 

But  the  hidden  mysteries  of  God  which  was  revealed  to 
his  innumerable  multitude  of  saints  from  Pentecost  down 
to  about  1780  (Rev.  7:9),  has  been  hidden  from  us  since 
that  time;  also  because  of  prophecy  (Matthew  25:5,  6). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


39 


Paul  says,  We  speak  wisdom  among  them  that  are  per- 
fect : yet  not  the  wisdom  of  this  world,  nor  of  the  princes 
of  this  world,  that  come  to  naught.  But  we  speak  the 
wisdom  of  God  in  a mystery,  even  the  hidden  wisdom,  which 
God  ordained  before  the  world. 

Which  none  of  the  princes  of  this  world  knew:  for  had 
they  known  it,  they  would  not  have  crucified  the  Lord  of 
glory. 

For  it  is  written,  eye  hath  not  seen  nor  ear  heard,  neither 
hath  entered  into  the  heart  of  man,  the  things  which  God 
hath  prepared  for  them  that  love  Him ; Hal-le-lu-jah  ! But 
this  mystery  will  be  revealed  unto  all  those  who  will  obey 
the  Lord  in  these  last  days  and  who  will  love  the  truth  and 
practice  it  (Luke  10:1-12). 

But  the  natural  carnal  mind  receiveth  not  the  things  of 
the  Spirit  of  God : for  they  are  foolishness  unto  him.  But 
he  that  is  spiritual  judgeth  all  things  yet  he  himself  is 
judged  of  no  man  (1  Corinthians  2:14,  15). 

So  a man  who  loves  truth  can  have  all  that  truth  has 
promised  him,  which  is  power  with  God  to  do  all  things 
that  our  Lord  ever  did  in  the  way  of  miracles.  But  he  must 
first  read  God’s  preparation  and  wake  up  and  learn  the 
Two  and  Two  as  it  is  written  in  the  book,  then  he  can 
judge  all  things. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  WAITING 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

The  natural  husbandman  has  his  seasons  to  plow  and  to 
sow  his  seed,  then  he  has  to  wait  for  the  former  and  the 
latter  rains  before  he  can  expect  to  harvest  a crop. 

So  in  like  manner  the  Spiritual  harvest  has  not  come 
yet,  which  consists  of  our  Lord’s  bridal  company  which 
made  herself  ready  (Revelation  19:7)  nearly  140  years 
ago,  and  also  our  Lord’s  servants  (see  Revelation  7:1-8), 
which  cannot  be  made  ready  before  the  latter  rains  come. 


40 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


And  these  latter  Spiritual  rains  cannot  come  before  our 
Lord ’s  set  time ; therefore  He  has  warned  ns  to  wait,  de- 
claring that  they  should  not  tarry,  but  shall  come  at  their 
appointed  time.  Amos  says,  it  is  a day  of  darkness  and 
no  light  at  all  (Amos  5:18-20). 

Our  Lord,  the  Bridegroom,  tells  us  while  He  tarries  we 
shall  all  slumber  and  sleep,  until  at  midnight  there  shall  be 
a cry  made  to  wake  us  up.  And  this  is  the  condition  we  are 
all  in  today. 

Therefore  our  Lord  has  not  come  yet  to  gather  in  his 
harvest  of  sheep,  and  cannot  come  before  his  preparation 
goes  forth  which  is  His  midnight  cry,  and  that  man  of  sin 
be  revealed,  the  son  of  perdition,  666  is  his  written  number 
to  be  counted  (Revelation  13:18). 

And  this  falling  away,  Paul  says,  shall  last  until  this 
man  of  sin  be  revealed,  and  all  those  that  fail  to  wait,  God 
shall  send  them  strong  delusions,  and  this  is  our  condition 
now. 

He  cannot  come,  so  the  vision  says,  before  that  man  of 
sin  be  revealed,  the  son  of  perdition.  And  woe  be  unto  that 
man  who  desires  His  coming,  saith  the  prophet ; is  not  this 
one  of  our  strong  God-sent  delusions?  (Read  2nd  Thessa- 
lonians  2 :1-12). 

Is  it  not  sufficient  proof  that  we  are  Spiritually  blind 
and  asleep,  when  we  see  hundreds  of  man-made  disciplines, 
man-made  divisions,  and  man-made  organizations  with 
man-made  names? 

Is  it  not  written,  a house  divided  against  itself  cannot 
stand?  And  did  not  our  Lord  warn  us  to  be  of  the  same 
mind  and  of  the  same  judgment?  (John  17  :21). 

Is  not  this  Spiritual  wickedness  in  high  places,  which 
Paul  speaks  of  in  Ephesians  6:12?  Have  we  not  all  been 
trained  and  schooled  alike  outside  of  our  Lord ’s  discipline  ? 
See  His  sermon  on  the  mount  (Matthew  5th,  6th  and  7th 
chapters). 

Write  the  vision  and  make  it  plain,  truly,  truly,  it  can 
not  be  too  plain  for  a people  like  myself,  who  has  never 


MIDNIGHT  CRY  41 

seen  a sinless  saint  or  a man  made  as  perfect  as  He,  our 
Lord,  is  perfect  (Matthew  5:48). 

Therefore  when  His  measure  is  full,  and  His  number  is 
full,  His  season  of  slumbering  and  sleeping,  and  falling 
away  will  cease  with  them  who  love  the  truth. 

Because  He,  our  Lord  the  Bridegroom,  will  not  always 
tarry,  for  He  has  promised  to  come  at  His  appointed  time, 
to  speak  and  not  lie : and  this  is  the  reason  why  He  has 
warned  us  all  to  wait  (Habakkuk  2 :2,  3). 

And  the  psalmist  says,  Wait  on  the  Lord:  be  of  good 
courage,  and  he  shall  strengthen  thine  heart:  Wait,  I say, 
on  the  Lord. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  DARKNESS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

Natural  darkness  came  before  natural  light;  the  types 
and  shadows  had  to  come  before  the  antitypes  or  substance 
could  come ; therefore  the  Old  Testament  with  its  laws,  pat- 
terns, plans  and  specifications  had  to  come ; and  is  a book 
of  types  and  shadows  pointing  to  the  New  Testament  sub- 
stance. 

Paul  says,  he  was  a chosen  vessel  unto  the  gentiles,  to 
turn  them  from  darkness  to  light,  and  from  the  powers  of 
Satan  unto  God,  that  they  may  receive  forgiveness  of  sins, 
and  inheritance  among  them  which  are  sanctified  by  faith 
that  is  in  me  (Acts  26:18). 

But  now  we  are  in  a state  of  Spiritual  darkness,  nearly 
one  hundred  and  forty  years  since  our  Lord’s  bride  made 
herself  ready,  and  the  last  one  of  them  was  martyred  and 
fell  asleep.  And  we  have  never  seen  one  Spiritual  man 
since,  who  practiced  our  Lord’s  sermon  on  the  mount. 

Nearly  one  hundred  and  forty  years  have  rolled  away 
since  our  Lord  commenced  tarrying  and  we  Israelites  have 
been  slumbering  and  sleeping  ever  since. 


42 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


All  these  years  we  have  been  deaf,  dumb  and  blind  to 
spiritual  things;  and  have  been  living  under  the  natural 
law  of  death,  made  for  the  wicked  bondson  sinner  (1st 
Timothy  1 :9,  10)  in  total  Spiritual  darkness. 

All  this  time  we  have  been  fulfilling  our  Lord’s  prophecy, 
that  we  shall  all  slumber  and  sleep  while  He  tarried;  and 
truly  He  has  never  come  yet,  for  He  has  had  no  people 
tried  as  gold  is  tried  in  the  fire  unto  perfection,  since  mar- 
tyrdom ceased. 

All  these  years  falling  away  from  love,  which  is  wisdom, 
which  is  knowledge,  which  is  power,  which  is  faith  to  do  all 
the  works  our  Lord  did. 

All  these  years  without  a teacher,  a guide,  a minister 
who  is  a flame  of  fire  (Hebrews  1:7),  a healer  to  raise  the 
dead  and  cast  out  devils  and  take  up  serpents,  etc.,  for  it 
takes  a live  new  born  Spiritual  babe  to  do  this  kind  of 
work.  And  we  are  all  this  time  minding  earthly  things. 

It  is  certainly  a woeful,  pitiful  sight  for  one  to  wake  up 
and  see  this  horrible  day  of  Spiritual  darkness.  Oh  that 
my  head  was  a fountain  of  wTater  and  my  eyes  a river  of 
tears,  that  I might  weep  day  and  night  for  the  sons  and 
daughters  of  my  lost  people. 

All  these  years  of  Spiritual  darkness  and  Spiritual 
wickedness  in  high  places.  Amos  says  there  is  no  light  at 
all  (Amos  5:18,  20).  All  this  season,  since  martyrdom 
ceased,  living  on  the  wicked  husbandman  line,  according  to 
what  our  Lord  has  said,  just  to  be  destroyed  for  lack  of 
knowledge  (Matthew  21:33  to  41). 

But  I see  a problem,  a hidden  truth  that  few  if  any  have 
ever  tried  to  solve  in  our  life-time ; and  for  over  one  hun- 
dred years  a world  of  natural,  wise,  intelligent  people,  after 
the  flesh,  who  mind  earthly  things,  working  day  and  night 
to  feed  their  fleshly  god,  have  ever  seen  (Philippians 
3:18,  19). 

So  just  stop  and  let  us  reason  together,  if  there  is  any 
reason  in  a man  who  has  lived  after  the  flesh  all  his  life, 
minding  earthly  things,  who  never  has  proved  our  Lord’s

new  birth.  Did  not  our  Lord  tell  us  to  not  labor  for  the 
meat  that  perisheth  (John  6 :27)  ? but  to  labor  and  lay  up 
treasures  in  heaven. 

Did  He  not  tell  us  to  take  no  thought  for  ourselves,  what 
we  should  eat,  drink  or  wear,  and  to  take  no  thought  for 
the  morrow?  (Matthew  6:24-34). 

Can  a man  buy,  sell,  trade  and  traffic  for  gain,  own 
houses,  lands,  and  goods  without  taking  thought  of  the 
morrow  and  how  he  shall  feed  his  god  ? 

Was  Paul  crazy  when  he  wept  over  brethren  for  mind- 
ing earthly  things?  or  are  we  crazy  who  say,  the  income 
of  one  hundredfold  which  our  Lord  promised,  is  not  suf- 
ficient to  feed  us?  (See  Matthew  19:29.) 

Did  not  our  Lord  say,  that  for  this  purpose  came  I into 
this  world  to  destroy  the  works  of  the  devil  (1st  John 
3:8)  ? and  feed  you  as  God  feedeth  the  birds?  Did  He 
not  say  that  he  was  the  end  of  the  works  of  the  law  for 
righteousness?  That  we  might  be  justified  by  the  law  of 
faith,  who  had  faith?  (Romans  1:17). 

Can  a man  live  under  the  law  of  carnal  unholy  works  and 
live  under  the  law  of  faiih,  doing  the  Lord’s  holy  works, 
which  is  the  anti-type  of  His  holy  prophets,  priests  and 
kings  all  at  the  same  time  ? 

Can  a man  serve  God  and  mammon,  can  a man  work  for 
two  masters,  at  holy  works  on  the  line  of  life,  and  at  profane 
works  of  vanity  on  the  line  of  death,  all  at  the  same  time  ? 

Will  you  be  reasonable  and  consider  these  two  lines  of 
characters  and  remember  that  we  are  dealing  with  a reason- 
able God,  who  will  feed  our  fleshly  god  when  we  believe  His 
word  and  let  Him? 

His  word  says,  that  He  will  give  us  a hundredfold  or  a 
hundred  times  more  if  we  will  let  Him  feed  us  as  He  feeds 
the  birds,  which  neither  build  storehouses  nor  gather  into 
barns,  if  we  will  read  this  preparation  and  wake  up  and 

let  Him. 

A natural  prophet,  priest  or  king  did  not  take  any 
thought  of  the  morrow,  what  he  should  eat,  drink  or  wear ; 


44  MIDNIGHT  CRY 

because  the  taxes  of  his  country  in  which  he  lived  had  to 
see  to  all  that. 

Is  not  our  King  of  kings  and  Lord  of  lords  greater  than 
this  wicked  husbandman  of  this  sin  cursed  earth?  Where 
is  our  faith  ? 

Read  this  message  seven  times  and  you  will  then  see  the 
reason  why,  that  men  have  been  deceived  in  great  numbers 
until  the  land  has  become  barren  of  faith  and  the  truth 
hidden. 

The  poor  afflicted  who  cannot  work  shall  have  this  book 
free.  But  no  man  who  is  able  to  make  money  can  afford  to 
do  without  this  preparation  to  meet  our  Lord  at  His  near 
coming ; God  not  only  wants  him  to  hear  and  learn  this,  but 
He  wants  to  give  him  leisure  of  time  to  help  to  spread  and 
scatter  it. 

If  you  are  a poor  man  working  for  a dollar  a day,  and  a 
rich  man  came  along  and  offered  you  one  hundred  dollars 
a day  and  much  rest  and  leisure  of  time  to  learn  to  be  a 
judge  (1st  Cor.  2 :15)  you  would  be  sure  to  not  delay  heed- 
ing this  offer. 

But  pardon  me ; if  your  mind  fails  to  cause  your  ears  to 
hear  this  message  and  you  fail  to  heed  it  whom  our 
Lord  said  He  would  raise  up,  if  you  heard  and  learned  it 
at  the  last  day  (John  6 :44)  ; 

I fear  you  would  fail  to  hear  and  prove  one  though  he 
arose  from  the  dead.  He  says,  prove  Me,  prove  all  things, 
for  no  man  could  know  sugar  was  sweet  had  he  never  eaten 
anything  sour. 

This  book  is  the  Two  and  Two  from  Adam  to  our  Lord's 
death.  According  as  it  is  written,  look  upon  the  things  of 
the  Most  High  and  they  are  written  in  two  and  two,  the  one 
against  the  other  from  the  beginning;  Life  against  death, 
and  good  against  evil,  the  sinner  against  the  Godly,  and  the 
Godly  against  the  sinner. 

The  sinners  are  all  asleep  today  and  when  woke  up  most 
of  them  will  be  wolves  in  sheep ’s  clothing.  Paul  says,  they 
will  be  fierce  despisers  of  those  who  are  good,  traitors,

heady,  highminded,  having  a form  of  Godliness  but  denying 
the  power  thereof:  from  such  turn  away,  (see  2nd  Timothy 
3:1-5). 

But  the  sinners  must  be  woke  up  to  the  fact  that  a 
better  day  has  come  to  them,  and  the  Kingdom  of  God  has 
come  nigh  unto  them ; for  God  has  a remnant  among  them 
who  will  gladly  follow ; 

And  then  the  wolves,  the  persecutors,  will  take  all  the 
power  our  Lord  will  permit  them  to  have  as  they  did  in 
former  years  when  they  killed  our  Lord’s  bride  who  num- 
bered millions,  for  our  Lord ’s  servants  in  these  latter  days 
must  be  first  purified,  made  white  and  tried  as  gold  in  the 
fire,  and  killed  as  His  bride.  (Proof  Daniel  12  :10 ; Revela- 
tions 6:9-11). 


TWO  KINDS  OF  FIRE 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

Christ  is  all,  His  word  is  light,  life  and  power ; His  word 
is  a consuming  fire.  Here  is  another  hidden  secret,  revealed 
to  very  few.  God  has  two  kinds  of  visible  fire  demon- 
strated every  day  in  America. 

For  the  powers  that  be  are  ordained  of  God,  and  these 
two  kinds  of  fire  are  natural  and  Spiritual;  and  yet  they 
are  both  visible. 

We  all  know  what  natural  fire  is  but  we  do  not  all  know 
what  Spiritual  fire  is.  If  Christ  is  all,  He  is  God,  and  His 
word  is  God,  therefore  he  says,  that  His  Word  which  is  God 
is  a consuming  fire. 

Moses,  Elijah  and  Solomon  all  called  fire  down  from 
heaven ; yet  they  all  had  plenty  of  fire  down  here. 

The  altar  of  sacrifice,  in  the  tabernacle  or  temple,  is 
a type  of  Christ  where  the  fire  burnt  continually  and  never 


46 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


went  out.  When  two  sons  of  Aaron  the  high  priest,  offered 
strange  fire  upon  the  altar  of  incense  in  the  holy  place,  they 
both  fell  dead,  because  they  did  not  take  the  fire  from  off 
the  altar  of  sacrifice. 

This  is  one  of  God's  types,  called  our  schoolmaster  to 
teach  us  the  difference  between  the  good  and  the  evil,  the 
type  and  the  antitype,  the  holy  and  the  profane,  the  life 
line  and  the  death  line,  the  same  as  it  is  in  the  other  articles 
in  this  little  book. 

So  nothing  can  quench  this  fire,  for  it  is  a consuming  fire, 
water  can  not  quench  it,  no  fire  can  burn  it  for  it  is  God 
Himself  who  made  all  things.  Therefore  hands  off,  it  is 
God’s  altar  of  power,  which  is  in  the  ark  of  His  covenant 
which  contains  the  word. 

When  we  see  the  lightning  flash  and  hear  the  thunder 
peal  in  a tone  which  makes  the  very  foundation  of  the  earth 
shake  and  quake,  it  is  the  voice  of  this  very  same  God  which 
says,  fear  and  tremble  at  My  word. 

When  He  comes  with  His  saints,  and  every  eye  shall  see 
Him,  all  those  that  go  there  to  take  a spoil,  all  those  that 
go  there  to  fight  against  Jerusalem,  He  will  destroy  with 
the  breath  of  His  mouth  and  the  brightness  of  His  coming. 

Say  brother,  can  you  believe  that  this  Spiritual  fire  is 
electricity?  No,  no!  Why  not?  Ans.  Because  we  have 
all  fallen  asleep  Spiritually  for  a long  time,  over  one 
hundred  years ; and  what  can  we  know,  having  no  teachers 
but  blind  guides,  so  our  prophets  tell  us. 

Just  touch  this  fire  and  you  are  liable  to  fall  dead ; it  is 
in  the  words  of  the  Father  for  weal  or  woe ; our  Lord  says, 
Every  one  that  will  hear  and  learn  the  Father’s  record  will 
come  to  Him,  for  when  a man  has  learned  a thing  practi- 
cally he  has  proven  it,  he  knows  it.  And  the  Lord  will 
raise  him  up  at  the  last  day  because  he  is  clean.

TWO  WAYS  TO  GET  OUR  LIVING 
AND  GOD  MADE  THEM  BOTH 
A TYPE  OF  LIFE  AND 
A TYPE  OF  DEATH 

God  the  Father  has  set  before  us  two  lines  of  good  and 
evil  characters,  in  a bondson  and  a free  son. 

Cain,  Ishmael,  Esau,  and  the  twelve  sons  of  Jacob  who 
refused  to  leave  the  Golden  Calf  worship  in  the  wilderness 
down  to  Judas  Iscariot,  represent  the  line  of  death. 

But  Abel,  Seth,  Enoch,  Noah,  Abraham,  Isaac,  Jacob, 
Joseph,  Moses,  Aaron  and  the  family  of  Levi,  and  all  the 
good  Prophets,  Priests  and  Kings  down  to  righteous  John 
the  Baptist  whom  King  Herod  killed  to  please  his  wife,  all 
represent  the  line  of  Eternal  life. 

God  set  these  two  lines  before  us  and  run  them  parallel 
with  each  other  from  the  Garden  of  Eden  to  the  Garden  of 
Gethsemane. 

The  Cain  and  Judas  Iscariot  line  represents  the  wicked 
husbandman  line  of  today,  whom  Jesus  Christ  will  miser- 
ably destroy  when  He  comes,  (Matthew  21 :33-41). 

This  wicked  husbandman  (as  Jesus  Christ  calls  him),  the 
Father  has  made  him  eat  his  bread  in  the  sweat  of  his  face 
to  this  day,  because  he  refuses  to  leave  the  worship  of  filthy 
lucre,  the  golden  calf,  the  world,  the  flesh  and  the  devil. 

So  this  wicked  line  of  bondsons  takes  in  the  whole  world, 
myself  as  well  as  all  others,  until  the  Midnight  Cry  goes 
forth  to  wake  us  up.  And  then  that  which  is  perfect  will 
come,  which  is  now  tarrying  (Habakkuk  2:2,  3)  ; then  we 
who  have  ears  to  hear  will  receive  the  baptism  of  Spirit 
and  Fire. 

God  the  Father  has  set  these  two  lines  before  us  that  we 
might  choose  the  good  line,  which  is  a shadow  only  of  the 
good  things  to  come,  but  the  body  is  Christ,  for  in  Him 
dwelleth  all  the  fulness  of  the  Godhead  bodily.

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


He  raised  up  Moses,  who  is  a type  of  God  in  the  flesh, 
whom  He  used  to  take  Israel  out  of  bondage  down  in  Egypt 
and  took  them  into  the  wilderness,  where  they  could  get 
nothing  to  eat,  drink,  or  wear  for  forty  years ; so  that  He 
could  set  before  us  two  lines  of  works,  for  two  kinds  of 
people,  under  two  separate  laws,  in  two  separate  occupa- 
tions. 

The  two  kinds  of  people  represent  the  holy  and  the  pro- 
fane, the  bondson  and  the  free  son  saint;  or  the  wicked 
husbandman  of  today  and  the  pentecost  saints  whom  they 
killed  down  to  about  1780  A.  D.  (Galatians  4:19-31  and 
Revelation  17  :6). 

And  God  set  before  us  His  two  lines,  the  bondson  line  of 
slave  works,  made  for  demons,  (proof  1st  Timothy  1 :9,10)  ; 
and  the  free  son  law  of  faith  works  made  for  saints  who 
are  priests  and  kings  (proof  Romans  3:27,28). 

Moses  fed  over  three  millions  in  the  wilderness  for  forty 
years  on  bread  from  heaven,  and  Jesus  Christ  fed  over  one 
hundred  million  saints  on  the  true  bread  from  heaven,  who 
gloried  in  tribulations,  who  loved  not  their  lives  to  the 
death;  therefore  they  gloried  in  the  cross  of  Jesus  Christ 
until  the  Lord's  bride  were  made  perfect  even  as  He  is 
perfect. 

But  since  this  took  place  we  have  the  same  evil  spirit  in 
us  that  our  forefathers  had,  who  helped  the  heathen  kill 
all  the  saints  down  to  1780  A.  D. 

As  Paul  said  weeping,  We  are  the  enemies  of  the  cross  of 
Christ,  whose  end  is  destruction,  whose  God  is  our  belly, 
who  glory  in  our  shame,  who  mind  earthly  things  (Philip- 
pians  3:18,19). 

Therefore  God  has  made  us  eat  our  bread  in  the  sweat  of 
our  face,  since  martyrdom  ceased  under  strong  God  sent 
delusions;  and  God  has  made  our  delusions  so  strong  that 
most  of  us  religious  people  would  rather  kill  a man  a thou- 
sand times  than  be  killed. 

So  we  will  have  to  wTake  up,  and  wash  up,  and  clean  up, 
and  get  our  house  holy,  white,  and  garnished  and  get  the 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

new  birth ; then  old  things  will  all  pass  away,  then  all  things 
will  become  new,  then  we  can  glory  in  tribulation  then  we 
will  glory  in  the  cross  of  Christ. 

Then  we  can  add  to  our  faith  virtue,  knowledge,  temper- 
ance, patience,  Godiness,  brotherly-kindness  and  charity 
(2nd  Peter  1 :5,6,7). 

These  things  we  lack  because  our  new-birth  cannot  come 
before  the  Father ’s  set  time,  and  this  is  the  reason  why  He 
has  told  us  to  wait  for  it  (Daniel  12  :12) . 

But  remember  our  Lord ’s  warning  concerning  a world  of 
deceivers  who  will  deceive  the  very  elect  if  possible ; they 
are  all  wizard  mind  readers,  and  healers  claiming  to  be 
sanctified  and  yet  minding  earthy  things. 

Over  ten  holiness  sects  in  America  claiming  to  be  saved, 
each  differing  in  name  and  discipline,  owning  houses  and 
lands ; the  same  as  the  non-professors  of  religion : but  all 
under  a strong  God-sent  delusion  (2nd  Thessalonians  2:1- 
12)  read  it  seven  times. 

TWO  KINDS  OF  CALLINGS 
TO  THE  MINISTRY 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

The  natural  man  has  been  fulfilling  prophecy  ever  since 
he  helped  kill  the  last  saint  ; for  it  is  written  they  shall  put 
good  for  evil  and  evil  for  good,  darkness  for  light  and  light 
for  darkness  (Isaiah  5:20). 

Therefore  all  the  callings  of  men  into  the  ministry  has 
been  done  by  Spiritual  blind  men,  who  are  ignorant  of  the 
fact  that  they  are  all  blind  and  asleep  (Matthew  25:5,6). 

From  Pentecost  to  1780  A.  D.  all  of  Jesus  Christ’s  follow- 
ers were  ministers  who  were  a flame  of  fire  (Hebrews  1:7, 
14;  John  17:17,21). 

For  over  1700  years  many  were  called  but  few  were 
chosen,  but  the  whosoever  that  willed  to  come  to  Jesus 
Christ  were  His  ministers. 


50 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Dear  reader  behold,  hear,  wake  up,  read  and  learn  the 
difference  between  these  two  callings  wThich  God  has  set 
before  us. 

Our  Lord  says,  I thank  Thee  0 Father  of  heaven  and 
earth  that  Thou  hast  hid  these  things  from  the  wise  and 
prudent,  and  hath  revealed  them  unto  (Spiritual)  babes 
(Matthew  11 :25). 

Paul  says,  Not  many  wise,  not  many  noble  after  the  flesh, 
are  called.  But  God  hath  chosen  the  foolish  weak  things 
to  confound  the  wise. 

And  He  hath  chosen  base  things  and  the  despised  things 
and  the  things  which  are  not,  to  bring  to  nought  the  wisdom 
of  the  wise  and  the  noble  etc.  That  no  flesh  should  glory  in 
His  presence  (1st  Cor.  1:26-29). 

But,  is'it  not  natural  for  all  men  after  the  flesh  to  mind 
earthly  things?  Is  it  not  natural  for  all  Political  and 
Ecclesiastical  sects  as  well  as  Fraternalism  to  select  the  wis- 
est and  most  prudent  and  noble  men  to  be  their  so  called 
Fathers,  Deacons,  Ministers,  Rabbis,  Priests,  Judges,  Law 
givers,  Bishops,  Masters,  Captains,  Governors,  and  Presi- 
dents? 

And  according  to  prophecy,  can  they  do  any  better  ? Can 
Spiritual  blind  men  see  and  understand  Spiritual  things 
when  asleep,  or  when  they  mind  earthly  things?  Did  not 
our  Lord  choose  the  weak,  the  foolish,  the  despised,  and  the 
base  things,  who  were  fishermen  for  His  twelve  Apostles? 

Did  He  not  thank  the  Father  for  hiding  His  Spiritual 
wisdom  from  the  nobility  of  His  day?  Did  He  not  send 
forth  His  twelve  disciples  and  seventy  others  without  purse 
or  scrip  as  lambs  among  wolves  in  order  to  demonstrate  His 
power  to  supply  all  their  needs  ? 

Is  it  not  written,  not  many  wise,  not  many  noble  are 
called?  And  not  many  of  that  class  will  ever  take  time  to 
search  or  read  God’s  preparation  sufficiently,  to  find  the 
strait  gate  into  the  narrow  road. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


51 


For  it  will  take  a diligent  searcher  from  now  on  to  strike 
the  narrow  road,  for  it  is  very,  very  narrow,  and  only  few 
there  be  that  find  it. 

Many  prospectors  for  gold  and  silver  and  other  metals, 
who  took  leisure  of  time,  who  forsook  houses,  lands,  wife, 
and  children  for  these  earthly  treasures,  have  digged  by 
day  and  night  and  went  hungry  and  thirsty  for  water  for 
daj^s  and  nights  in  their  worldly  pursuit  for  wealth. 

And  they  never  gave  up  the  search  because  they  were  sure 
to  find  their  prize.  It  was  energy  and  determination  which 
caused  them  finally  to  accomplish  the  find. 

So  is  God's  true  riches  to  a lover  of  truth,  which  is  like 
unto  a treasure  hid  in  a field,  and  men  sold  all  they  had  and 
bought'  the  field. 

And  then  they  learned  how  to  live  by  faith,  after  they 
forsook  all  things,  (see  Luke  14  :33),  then  they  had  a chance 
to  find  their  prize.  It  was  energy  and  determination  which 
one  and  all  will  have  to  practice  (Luke  10:1-12)  to  find 
this  strait  gate  into  His  narrow  road. 

All  who  will  kick  against  this  message,  God  will  add 
double  punishment  to  some,  and  seven  times  greater  to 
others;  for  if  this  is  of  God  it  will  stand  and  all  who  will 
oppose  it  will  suffer  in  this  life  (see  God’s  fourteen  severe 
curses  of  Deuteronomy  28th  chapter). 


TWO  KINDS  OF  LABOR 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

To  know  a thing  is  to  prove  it  and  to  know  nothing  is  to 
prove  nothing.  This  has  been  our  down-fall  all  our  lives 
or  since  martyrdom  ceased. 

We  have  been  all  these  years  without  a teacher  until  now ; 
and  this  teacher  or  school-master  will  open  our  eyes  to  see 
after  we  have  heard  and  learned  of  the  Father  how  to  prove 
His  Son’s  power.

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


We  can  see  how  the  Lord  sent  out  the  twelve  disciples 
and  gave  them  power  and  authority  over  all  devils,  and  to 
cure  diseases.  And  He  sent  them  to  preach  the  Kingdom  of 
God,  and  to  heal  the  sick.  • 

And  He  said  unto  them,  Take  nothing  for  your  journey, 
neither  staves  nor  scrip,  neither  bread,  neither  money; 
neither  have  two  coats  apiece  (Luke  9:3). 

After  this  He  appointed  other  seventy  also,  and  sent 
them  two  and  two  before  His  face  into  every  city  and  place, 
whither  He  Himself  would  come. 

Therefore  saith  He  unto  them  the  harvest  truly  is  great, 
but  the  laborers  are  few : pray  ye  therefore  the  Lord  of  the 
harvest  that  He  would  send  forth  laborers  into  His  harvest. 

THIS  MEANS  YOU  AND  ME  NOW 

Go  your  way:  behold,  I send  you  forth  as  lambs  among 
wolves.  Carry  neither  purse,  nor  scrip,  nor  shoes:  and 
salute  no  man  by  the  way.  And  into  whatsoever  house  ye 
enter,  first  say,  Peace  be  to  this  house.  And  if  the  son  of 
peace  be  there,  your  peace  shall  rest  upon  it : if  not,  it  shall 
turn  to  you  again. 

And  in  the  same  house  remain,  eating  and  drinking  such 
things  as  they  give : for  the  laborer  is  worthy  of  his  hire. 
Go  not  from  house  to  house.  Go  not  to  the  gentiles. 

And  into  whatsoever  city  ye  enter,  and  they  receive  you, 
eat  such  things  as  they  set  before  you : But  into  whatsoever 
city  ye  enter,  and  they  receive  you  not,  go  your  ways  out 
into  the  streets  of  the  same  and  say,  even  the  very  dust  of 
your  city  which  cleaveth  on  us,  we  do  wipe  off  against  you : 
notwithstanding,  be  ye  sure  of  this,  that  the  Kingdom  of 
God  is  come  nigh  unto  you. 

But,  I say  unto  you,  that  it  shall  be  more  tolerable  in  that 
day  for  Sodom,  than  for  that  city. 

He  that  heareth  you  heareth  Me : and  he  that  despiseth 
you  despiseth  Me ; and  he  that  despiseth  Me  despiseth  Him 
that  sent  Me. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


53 


And  the  seventy  returned  again  with  joy,  saying,  Lord, 
even  the  devils  are  subject  unto  us  through  thy  name.  And 
He  said  unto  them,  I beheld  Satan  as  lightning  fall  from 
heaven.  Behold,  I give  unto  you  power  to  tread  on  serpents 
and  scorpions,  and  over  all  the  power  of  the  enemy;  and 
nothing  shall  by  any  means  hurt  you. 

Notwithstanding  in  this  rejoice  not,  that  the  spirits  are 
subject  unto  you;  but  rather  rejoice,  because  your  names 
are  written  in  heaven  (Luke  10:1-20). 

This  has  been  proven  in  the  last  thirty  years,  and  it  is  no 
lie ; these  people  God  sent  out  before  pentecost,  and  God 
will  send  you  out  likewise. 

For  it  is  written,  write  the  vision  and  make  it  plain  for 
him  that  readeth  that  he  may  run. 

So  dear  reader,  knowing  that  our  time  is  short,  let  me 
say,  do  read  these  two  lines  of  life  and  death  characters  and 
wake  up,  and  do  as  these  seventy  did. 

Prove  this  lost  and  hidden  power,  which  is  the  key  to  the 
door  of  immortality;  and  these  shall  shine  as  the  stars 
forever  instead  of  plunging  into  a lake  of  fire  to  be  de- 
stroyed. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  POOR  PEOPLE 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

God  says  to  the  natural  poor  bondson  sinner,  if  you  are 
weary  of  bondson  traffic,  come  unto  Me  and  I will  give  you 
rest,  which  means  leisure  of  time  to  learn  to  be  a son  of 
God  instead  of  a son  of  perdition  (Romans  8:14). 

And  all  poor  men  who  love  truth  will  freely  come  to 
Christ,  but  there  is  another  kind  of  poor,  who  have  no  ears 
to  hear  truth,  they  are  all  asleep  alike,  but  a man  who  has 
no  love  for  truth  will  never  wake  up.

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


TWO  KINDS  OF  RICH  MEN 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

We  have  also  two  kinds  of  rich  men,  the  natural  bondsons, 
lovers  of  this  world  and  haters  of  Him  who  made  the  world, 
lovers  of  money  and  haters  of  Him  who  made  the  money ; 
the  love  of  money  is  the  root  of  all  evil  (1  Timothy  6 :10)  , 
but  money  is  good  to  them  who  have  no  sin. 

But  God  has  a Spiritual  rich  people,  only  few  in  number, 
and  they  love  the  truth,  and  when  they  see  God ’s  Midnight 
Cry,  they  will  hear  it,  and  learn  it  and  wake  up  and  choose 
life  and  live ; and  our  Lord  will  give  them  His  power,  and 
raise  them  up  at  the  last  day  (John  6:44). 

TWO  KINDS  OF  DAUGHTERS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

AS  THE  MOTHER  SO  THE  DAUGHTERS 
EZEKIEL  16:44). 

The  natural  daughters  of  today  are  like  the  daughters  of 
Zion  were  under  the  law  of  types  and  shadows  in  the  days 
of  Isaiah  the  prophet. 

Moreover  the  Lord  saith,  because  the  daughters  of  Zion 
(so  called)  are  haughty,  and  walk  with  stretched  forth 
necks  and  wanton  eyes,  walking  and  mincing  as  they  go, 
and  making  a tinkling  with  their  feet : 

HERE  IS  GOD'S  CURSE  COMING 
# Therefore  the  Lord  will  smite  with  a scab  the  crown  of 
the  head  of  the  (so  called)  daughters  of  Zion,  and  the  Lord 
will  discover  their  nakedness  (Revelation  18th  chapter). 

In  that  day  the  Lord  will  take  away  the  bravery  of  their 
tinkling  ornaments  about  their  feet,  and  their  cauls,  and 
their  round  tires  like  the  moon,  the  chains,  and  the  brace- 
lets, and  the  mufflers,  the  bonnets,  and  the  ornaments  of  the 
legs,  and  the  headbands,  and  the  tablets,  and  the  earrings. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


55 


The  rings,  and  the  jewels,  the  changeable  suits  of  apparel, 
the  wimples  and  the  crisping  pins,  the  glasses,  and  the  fine 
linen,  and  the  hoods  and  the  veils. 

And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  instead  of  sweet  smell 
there  shall  be  stink ; and  instead  of  a girdle  a rent ; and 
instead  of  well  set  hair  baldness ; and  instead  of  a stomacher 
a girdling  of  sackcloth  (to  hide  their  nakedness)  ; and  burn- 
ing instead  of  beauty. 

Thy  men  shall  fall  by  the  sword,  and  thy  mighty  in  the 
war.  And  the  daughters  being  desolate  shall  sit  upon  the 
ground. 

And  all  that  the  prophet  Isaiah  says  shall  come  to  pass ; 
(please  read  the  18th  chapter  of  Revelation). 

This  is  the  horrible  condition  that  the  natural  daughters 
as  well  as  the  so  called  spiritual  daughters  are  in  today. 

And  as  spiritual  wickedness  in  high  places  shall  wax 
worse  and  worse  (Ephesians  6:12,13)  so  in  like  manner  do 
our  so  called  daughters  of  Zion  fall  in  line  with  Sodom  and 
Gomorrah. 

Prophecy  must  be  fulfilled  in  these  latter  days,  which 
makes  this  world  like  unto  the  days  of  Noah  and  also  like 
unto  the  days  of  Sodom. 

The  18th  chapter  of  Revelation  is  the  fulfillment  of  this 
prophecy.  Read  it,  and  learn  it,  and  watch  it. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  HARLOTS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

Jesus  said,  The  publicans  and  harlots  (lewd  women)  go 
into  the  kingdom  of  God  before  the  chief  priests,  elders, 
scribes  and  pharisees,  whom  He  called  hypocrites. 

The  pharisee  is  a lover  of  pleasure,  he  will  fight  for  the 
Mosaic  law  for  it  is  his  gospel,  yet  he  has  broken  it  all  his 
life,  all  natural  things  are  hunters  from  an  ant  to  an  ele- 
phant, so  are  they  who  say,  Lord,  Lord,  who  mind  earthly 
things. 


56 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


The  harlot  church  is  called  the  seventh  beast,  but  it  is 
written  that  the  eighth  beast  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the 
seventh  beast,  called  the  whore,  and  burn  her  with  fire 
(Revelation  17th  chapter). 

Dear  reader,  what  a man  soweth  that  shall  he  also  reap, 
have  we  not  all  been  whoring  after  this  root  called  filthy 
lucre,  and  in  the  face  of  it  all  we  call  ourselves  believers  in 
Jesus  Christ. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  VIRGINS 
THE  WISE  AND  THE  FOOLISH 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

The  natural  virgins,  and  the  Spiritual  virgins  will  be 
virgins  alike  for  they  are  both  come-outers  if  they  ever  had 
their  names  written  in  the  old  apostate  church  (Revelation 
18 :2-6)  read  it ; 

So  the  difference  between  the  wise  and  the  foolish  virgins 
is  this : The  wise  virgins  are  only  slumbering  while  the  fool- 
ish virgins  are  sleeping  soundly,  but  all  Spiritually  blind, 
and  these  will  all  wake  up  after  they  read  up. 

For  there  are  144,000  who  are  of  the  elect,  and  no  doubt 
there  will  be  that  many  more  called  foolish  virgins ; because 
those  who  are  of  the  elect  will  make  sure  to  have  oil  in  their 
vessels,  which  is  a deep  love  for  the  truth  and  in  this  the 
foolish  virgins  fail. 

TWO  KINDS  OF  DRUNKARDS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

The  whiskey,  beer  and  wine  drinker,  and  the  people  who 
are  drunk  on  their  false  doctrine.  The  prophet  says,  These 
spiritual  drunkards  are  not  drunk  on  wine  or  strong  drink. 

It  is  written,  Flee  out  of  the  midst  of  Babylon,  and 
deliver  every  man  his  soul : be  not  cut  off  in  her  iniquity ; 


MIDNIGHT  CEY  57 

for  this  is  the  time  of  the  Lord’s  vengeance ; He  will  render 
unto  her  a recompense. 

Babylon  hath  been  a golden  cup  in  the  Lord’s  hand,  that 
made  all  the  earth  drunken:  the  nations  have  drunken  of 
her  wine;  therefore  the  nations  are  mad. 

Babylon  is  suddenly  fallen  and  destroyed : howl  for  her ; 
take  balm  for  her  pain,  if  so  be  she  may  be  healed  (Jeremiah 
51 :6,7,8 ; Revelation  17  :4) . 

Babylon  is  fallen,  she  staggers,  she  is  drunken  but  not 
with  strong  drink,  but  on  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  Almighty 
God ; which  is  the  root  of  all  evil,  which  is  the  love  of  money. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  CUPS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

The  natural  cup  out  of  which  the  natural  drunkard 
drinks  natural  wine  and  other  strong  drinks.  And  the 
spiritual  cup,  the  golden  cup  of  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of 
her  fornication,  which  today  means  modern  babylon  to  us. 

For  all  nations  have  drunk  of  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of 
her  fornication,  and  the  kings  of  the  earth  have  committed 
fornication  with  her,  and  the  merchants  of  the  earth  are 
waxed  rich  through  the  abundance  of  her  delicacies  (Revel- 
ation 18 :3). 

And  lo ! And  behold  her,  how  fast  asleep  we  all  are 
Spiritually  because  of  our  drunken  condition;  so  drunk 
that  we  can  not  and  will  not  see  the  difference  between  the 
natural  and  the  Spiritual,  the  type  and  the  antitype,  ex- 
cept this  Midnight  Cry  will  wake  us  up. 

And  I hear  another  voice  from  heaven,  saying,  come  out 
of  her  my  people,  that  ye  be  not  partakers  of  her  sins,  and 
that  ye  receive  not  of  her  plagues. 

For  her  plagues  shall  come  in  one  day,  death  and  mourn- 
ing, and  famine;  the  eighth  beast  shall  eat  her  flesh  and 
burn  her  with  fire,  for  strong  is  the  Lord  God  who  judgeth 
her. 


58 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


And  this  is  mystery  Babylon  and  her  daughters ; she  soon 
will  fall,  and  this  article  gives  the  warning ; and  few  there 
be  that  will  heed  it. 

Go  to  now  ye  rich  men,  weep  and  howl  for  your  miseries 
that  shall  come  upon  you,  your  riches  are  corrupted,  your 
garments  are  moth  eaten,  your  gold  and  silver  is  cankered ; 
this  is  the  cup  of  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  God  Almighty. 

Reward  her  even  as  she  rewarded  you,  and  double  unto 
her  double  according  to  her  works:  in  the  cup  which  she 
has  filled,  fill  to  her  double  this  golden  cup  full  of  the  wine 
of  her  whoredoms,  which  is  the  love  of  money. 

Today  merchant  millionaires  are  numbered  by  the  thou- 
sands, but  in  one  hour  this  babylon  will  fall  and  misery 
will  come  upon  all  that  will  not  come  out  of  her  (Revelation 
18:1-17). 

Do  not  ask  any  man  what  any  thing  in  this  book  means 
unless  he  has  faith  akin  to  that  of  Elijah  or  Christ’s  follow- 
ers, who  raised  the  dead,  lived  by  faith  and  had  all  things 
in  common  (Acts  2:44-47)  for  what  can  one  know  more 
than  another  when  asleep  ? 


TWO  KINDS  OF  TRAINING 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

TRAINED  before  the  birth  of  Jesus  Christ  to  believe 
that  the  seed  of  the  woman  would  come  to  destroy  the  works 
of  the  devil. 

TRAINED  to  believe  that  when  the  Father  sent  His  Son 
to  this  earth,  he  would  bear  our  sins  on  the  cross  of  Calvary 
if  we  would  quit  them. 

TRAINED  to  believe  that  He  would  bear  our  afflictions 
and  heal  all  our  sicknesses. 

TRAINED  to  believe  that  He  would  have  all  power  over 
all  flesh,  and  that  He  would  have  all  power  on  earth  and 
heaven,  and  the  earth  would  be  His  and  the  fullness  thereof. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY  59 

TRAINED  by  the  Old  Testament  to  believe  that  He 
would  be  the  end  of  the  LAW  made  for  the  bondson. 

TRAINED  to  believe  that  the  just  shall  live  by  his  faith 
(Habakkuk  2 :4),  after  Christ  came  among  men. 

TRAINED  to  hear  the  Father’s  preparation,  and  to  learn 
it  and  to  be  drawn  by  the  Father  to  His  Son  (John 
6:44-45). 

TRAINED  before  the  Lord  was  martyred  how  to  wash, 
cleanse,  and  purify  themselves  clean  and  white  by  the  word, 
and  be  tried  by  the  Father’s  word. 

TRAINED  before  Pentecost  to  know  how  to  be  a living 
sacrifice,  a whole  burnt  offering,  holy,  acceptable  unto  God, 
which  is  our  reasonable  service,  and  a lamb  for  the  slaughter 
turned  loose  among  wolves  (Luke  10:1-12);  read  it  and 
practice  it.  And  to  be  no  more  conformed  to  this  world  but 
transformed. 

TRAINED  to  renew  our  minds  that  we  might  prove  what 
is  that  good  and  acceptable  and  perfect  will  of  God  (Ro- 
mans 12  :1,2) . 

NOW  WE  COME  TO  PENTECOST 

TRAINED  to  tarry  at  Jerusalem  to  be  endued  with 
Power  from  on  High,  -but  Pentecost  had  to  fully  come  before 
the  Power  could  come. 

TRAINED  as  soon  as  the  baptismal  powers  came  by  the 
Holy  Spirit  and  Fire,  to  speak  with  new  tongues. 

TRAINED  by  this  Power,  which  gave  them  the  new  birth, 
to  live  by  faith  in  the  words  of  Jesus  Christ. 

TRAINED  to  sell  houses,  lands  and  goods  (Luke  14:33), 
and  have  all  things  in  common  (Acts  2:44-47). 

TRAINED  like  the  Levites  to  have  no  inheritance  on  this 
sin  cursed  earth  whose  inheritance  was  in  heaven  (Numbers 
18:20-24). 

TRAINED  to  live  off  of  the  Altar,  Jesus  Christ,  who  has 
all  power  over  all  flesh ; which  is  the  antitype  of  the  Leviti- 


60  MIDNIGHT  CRY 

cal  Priesthood,  who  lived  off  of  the  Israelites ’ tithes  (Num- 
bers 18:8-14). 

TRAINED  to  live  off  of  the  Christian’s  Altar,  (see  what 
Paul  says),  We  have  an  Altar,  whereof  they  have  no  right 
to  eat  which  serve  the  tabernacle  (Hebrews  13  :10). 

TRAINED  to  live  by  faith  in  the  Word  which  says, 
Labor  not  for  the  meat  which  perisheth  (John  6:27),  for 
my  Word  is  the  Bread  of  life  (John  6:48-51). 

TRAINED  by  the  Comforter  to  take  no  thought  for  their 
lives  what  they  shall  eat,  drink  or  wear ; and  to  take  no 
thought  for  the  morrow  (Matthew  6:24-34). 

TRAINED  after  Pentecost  to  work  in  the  Lord’s  vine- 
yard, and  to  lay  up  treasures  in  heaven,  and  to  have  no 
treasure  on  this  earth  (Luke  12:33). 

TRAINED  to  love  God  with  all  their  heart,  soul,  mind, 
and  strength  and  their  neighbors  as  themselves ; and  this  is 
the  reason  why  they  had  all  things  in  common. 

TRAINED  to  glory  in  tribulation,  because  fire  could  not 
hurt  them,  beasts  or  lions  could  not  devour  them ; for  God, 
who  has  all  power  over  all  flesh,  was  in  them. 

TRAINED  to  prove  that  when  the  Comforter  entered, 
the  man’s  life  and  the  Holy  Spirit  are  one  Spirit;  therefore 
nothing  could  hurt  them,  therefore  they  never  saw  death 
(John  17:17,21). 

TRAINED  by  the  millons  to  hate  their  own  lives  to  the 
death  (Revelation  12:11)  ; and  they  were  all  killed  about 
140  years  ago. 

And  we  have  all  had  another  kind  of  training  since  that 
time. 

TRAINED  by  blind  men,  ever  since  the  Bridegroom  has 
been  tarrying,  to  think  we  can  see ; whereas  we  have  had  no 
Spiritual  teachers  since  the  door  of  mercy  was  shut  with  a 
time  key;  when  the  last  martyr  was  killed,  and  we  have 
been  talking  in  our  sleep  ever  since. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


61 


TRAINED  to  believe  in  blind  men’s  ideas  and  no  room 
for  the  truth ; and  what  can  any  one  know  about  Spiritual 
things  when  we  have  never  seen  a man  who  can  do  our 
Lord’s  works. 

TRAINED  in  the  dark  to  put  darkness  for  light  and 
light  for  darkness,  bitter  for  sweet  and  sweet  for  bitter, 
good  for  evil  and  evil  for  good.  Train  up  a child  in  the 
way  he  shall  go  and  when  he  gets  old  he  will  never  depart 
from  it. 

TRAINED  by  the  millions,  by  somnambulists  for  the  last 
140  years  to  do  things  in  our  sleep ; and  is  not  this  the 
reason  why  the  prophets  tell  us  there  is  only  a remnant? 
And  except  the  Lord  does  a short  work  no  flesh  shall  be 
saved,  saith  the  Lord  (Matthew  24:22). 


TWO  KINDS  OF  MARRIAGES 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

Remember  neither  male  nor  female  in  the  resurrection. 

The  Old  Testament  is  a book  of  types  and  shadows,  writ- 
ten on  two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters,  under  two 
separate  laws,  viz.,  the  law  of  carnal  perishable  works  of 
vanity  on  the  bondson  line,  a type  of  death,  (Romans 
3:27)  ; 

And  the  law  of  holy  faith  works  for  his  bride,  who  were 
made  kings  and  priests  unto  God,  to  reign  with  Him  on  the 
earth  (Revelation  1:6;  5:10;  and  20:4,  6). 

The  New  Testament  gives  the  substance  of  the  old,  after 
we  have  heard  and  have  learned  the  old,  and  have  been 
wrashed  from  our  sins  in  His  blood,  the  word,  (Revelation 
1:5;  John  6:54,55,56). 

The  Father  spent  over  4000  years  setting  before  us  His 
two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters,  which  is  His  prepara- 
tion, a teacher,  a looking  glass,  to  turn  man  from  darkness 
into  light, 


62 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


It  is  called  our  school-master  to  bring  us  to  Jesus  Christ 
who  is  the  Bridegroom ; and  for  this  cause  the  Father  sent 
His  Son  to  this  sin  cursed  earth  to  take  out  a Spiritual 
bride ; 

And  this  He  has  done  about  140  years  ago,  and  He  took 
her  out  according  to  the  types  and  shadows  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment scriptures,  (see  Genesis  21:21). 

So  we  see  by  the  Old  Testament  scriptures  that  the  par- 
ents had  to  select  the  bride  for  their  sons,  which  gives  us  a 
type  showing  how  the  Father  selected  a Spiritual  bride 
for  His  Son  Jesus  Christ. 

For  it  is  written  in  the  prophets;  and  they  shall  be  all 
taught  of  God.  Every  man  therefore  that  hath  heard  and 
hath  learned  of  the  Father  cometh  unto  Me  (Jesus  Christ) 
and  I will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day  (John  6 :37-45). 

Hagar,  Abraham's  bond  woman  selected  a wife  for  her 
son,  Ishmael,  from  her  own  kin  folk  in  Egypt ; so  in 
like  manner  did  Abraham  select  a bride  for  his  son  Isaac 
the  son  of  Sarah,  Abraham's  wife. 

Ishmael  is  a type  of  a bondson  and  Isaac  is  a type  of  a 
free  son  (Galatians  4:19-31).  Ishmael  is ‘a  type  of  Satan, 
sin  and  death ; but  Isaac  is  a type  of  Jesus  Christ,  the  Son 
of  God,  also  of  a saint,  a living  sacrifice,  a lamb  for  the 
slaughter,  meet  for  the  Master's  use. 

And  Abraham  selected  a bride  for  Isaac  of  his  own  kin- 
dred ; Isaac's  bride  was  his  first  cousin  Rebecca.  (Read  the 
24th  chapter  of  Genesis  which  will  tell  you  all  about  how 
particular  Abraham  was  in  order  to  please  God  in  choosing 
Isaac's  bride). 

Therefore  Isaac  never  saw  his  bride  before  his  father  had 
her  brought  to  him ; so  in  like  manner  no  man  can  come  to 
Christ  except  he  hath  heard  and  learned  the  Father's 
preparation  first,  and  then  drawn  or  sent  to  His  Son 
Jesus  Christ. 

And  now  we  have  come  to  the  end  of  the  season,  a time 
for  which  we  have  all  been  warned  to  wait,  and  to  allow  no 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


63 


man  to  deceive  us.  For  this  has  been  a time  of  the  fulfilling 
of  prophecy ; a time  when  men  should  be  deceived  until  the 
land  became  barren  of  faith  and  the  truth  hidden. 

But  this  was  not  to  last  any  longer  than  to  the  fourth 
generation;  and  that  time  is  up  and  God’s  Midnight  Cry 
is  here  according  to  promise  to  wake  up  all  who  are  of  His 
elect. 

And  all  of  us  that  love  truth  will  hear  and  learn  this 
preparation  and  the  Father’s  Word  will  wash,  cleanse, 
purify,  and  make  them  white ; for  the  same  preparation 
that  made  the  Lord’s  Bride  an  acceptable  offering  to  Jesus 
Christ  will  also  make  His  servants  and  their  brethren  clean 
and  white. 

And  this  midnight  cry  has  come  at  its  appointed  time 
or  the  Father  would  not  permit  it  to  be  published,  hallelu- 
jah ! Oh  let  us  read  it  and  wake  up  and  choose  life  and  live 

tO  PRAISE  HIM  CONTINUALLY. 

For  a continual  sacrifice  of  praise  is  well  pleasing  in  His 
sight;  then  we  can  love  the  Lord  with  all  our  heart,  soul, 
mind  and  strength  and  our  neighbor  as  ourselves,  well, 
praise  his  holy  name  forever,  hallelujah  ! 


TWO  KINDS  OF  BIRTHS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 
THE  TYPE  AND  THE  ANTITYPE 

The  natural  born  babe  is  the  most  helpless,  of  all  crea- 
tures, and  has  to  be  cut  loose  from  its  mother  as  soon  as  it 
is  born;  (see  the  antitype  in  Acts  2:44,45). 

The  little  child  can  do  no  work  to  support  itself  but  has 
to  be  cared  for  by  its  parents.  The  little  natural  child  can- 
not buy,  sell,  trade  nor  traffic  for  gain;  own  houses,  land 
nor  goods,  build,  plant,  sow  nor  reap  nor  gather  into  store- 
houses.

Jesus  Christ  said,  Except  we  become  as  little  children  we 
shall  in  no  wise  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven.  Except 
we  become  as  little  children  we  will  stand  naked  before  God. 

The  soul  that  sinneth,  it  shall  die,  but  in  order  to  not  die 
we  must  be  born  again.  No  man  can  die  after  he  has  washed 
himself,  purified  himself,  and  made  himself  white  by  hear- 
ing, and  learning  the  Father’s  preparation  which  is  in  the 
word,  which  is  repentance. 

This  kind  of  repentance  the  Father  has  set  before  us, 
which  had  to  be  practiced  by  the  early  saints  from  pente- 
cost  to  the  finish,  when  all  were  martyred,  and  the  door  of 
mercy  shut. 

All  sinners  had  to  bring  forth  fruits  meet,  worthy  of 
repentance  before  John  the  Baptist  would  baptise  them  in 
water. 

Paul  warned  them  in  coming  to  Christ  to  present  their 
bodies  a living  sacrifice,  holy,  which  means  without  spot  or 
blemish.  And  be  no  more  conformed  to  this  world  but 
transformed  by  the  renewing  of  the  mind,  to  walk  no  more 
after  the  flesh ; the  corn  of  wheat  has  gone  into  the  ground 
and  died,  this  is  repentance  (Romans  6:6). 

This  is  the  washing  of  regeneration  by  the  word ; this  is 
an  acceptable  offering,  this  is  a living  sacrifice,  holy,  accept- 
able to  our  Lord,  this  is  fruit  worthy  of  repentance. 

This  kind  of  a sacrifice  is  drawn  by  the  Father  to  His 
son  our  Messiah,  for  his  house  is  garnished  and  swept,  he  is 
then  ready  for  the  enduement  of  power  from  on  high,  he  is 
then  ready  for  the  new  birth  which  is  Spirit  and  Fire,  for 
God  is  a consuming  fire. 

This  mak^s  an  entire  new  creature,  old  things  have  all 
passed  away;  the  corn  of  wheat  has  been  quickened  into* 
newness  of  life,  he  is  now  a lamb  for  the  slaughter  turned 
loose  among  wolves  (Luke  10:1-12). 

He  is  now  dead  to  the  world,  he  has  all  the  time  there  is 
to  lay  up  treasures  in  heaven  ; he  has  the  new  life,  he  has  the 
new  power  from  on  High  he  has  the  Comforter  within. 
Hallelujah  !

He  never  needs  a man  to  guide  him  or  the  Old  Testament 
schoolmaster  to  teach  him  for  the  Holy  Spirit  in  him 
shall  lead  him  into  all  truth  and  teach  him  all  things. 

So  this  will  be  our  portion  as  soon  as  we  read  up  this 
message  and  die  to  the  bondson  law  and  choose  the  free-son 
law  of  faith  (Romans  3:27,28),  this  kind  of  repentance 
no  one  has  ever  seen  in  our  day ; but  it  was  the  old  founda- 
tion principle  for  the  early  saints. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  LITTLE  CHILDREN 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

Our  Lord  took  up  a little  child,  knowing  that  the  people 
who  stood  by  would  understand  what  it  took  for  the 
parents  to  nurture  the  child  and  train  it  in  the  way  it 
should  go. 

Therefore  He  said  to  the  people,  suffer  little  children  to 
come  unto  Me,  and  forbid  them  not,  for  of  such  is  the  king- 
dom of  heaven. 

The  little  new-born  babe  is  a perfect  type  of  a Spiritual 
born  babe ; the  first  thing  they  do  to  the  natural  child  is  to 
cut  it  loose  from  the  flesh  of  its  mother. 

In  like  manner  must  a Spiritual  born  babe  be  cut  loose 
from  the  wrorld,  the  flesh  and  the  devil ; for  his  dependence 
is  then  entirely  on  his  Master,  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

Therefore  we  see  nearly  8000  souls  received  the  new  birth 
at  Pentecost,  and  then  they  said  their  houses,  lands  and 
goods  were  not  their  own,  so  they  sold  their  possessions  and 
brought  the  money  to  the  Apostles  and  from  that  time  on 
they  had  all  things  in  common  (Acts  2:44  to  47 ; and  4 :32 
to  37). 

This  put  them  under  the  law  of  faith,  which  is  the  anti- 
type of  the  Levites  in  the  tabernacle,  who  could  have  no  in- 
heritance on  this  sin-cursed  earth. 

But  their  inheritance  was  in  God  only  (Numbers  18  :20  to 
24),  for  the  Levitical  house  represents  the  Pentecost  saints, 


66 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


for  they  were  sanctified  and  set  apart  on  God’s  holy  line 
to  do  holy  works  of  faith,  a type  of  salvation. 

But  the  character  of  the  little  helpless  child  is  truly  an 
eye-opener,  on  the  line  of  what  it  takes  to  be  a perfect  sinless 
saint;  this  little  natural  child  is  our  perfect  example,  its 
parents  are  like  Christ  to  the  Spiritual  child.  We  often 
sing,  Christ  is  all,  all  in  all,  yes,  Christ  is  all  in  all.  And 
this  is  truth  when  we  learn  to  practice  it. 

So  to  the  little  helpless  child  its  parents  are  all  in  all ; 
it  would  soon  die  without  food  and  parental  care ; for  it 
can  make  no  provision  for  its  body,  it  knows  of  no  inheri- 
tance on  this  earth  while  it  is  little. 

It  cannot  beg,  borrow  nor  steal ; it  cannot  own  houses, 
lands  nor  goods;  neither  can  it  buy,  sell,  trade  nor  traffic 
for  gain ; for  all  of  this  would  be  vanity  to  it.  The  natural 
parents  supply  all  the  little  child  needs. 

So  in  like  manner,  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven  after 
one  is  born  of  the  Spirit  of  God ; he  is  wholly  cut  loose 
from  all  bondage,  and  has  chosen  life  and  can  never  see 
death.  As  it  is  written,  whosoever  he  be  of  you  that  for- 
sake th  not  all  that  he  hath,  he  cannot  be  My  disciple. 

Christ  is  our  power,  He  is  the  saints’  altar,  wdiereof  no 
man  has  a right  to  eat  which  serve  the  tabernacle  ( Hebrews 
13:10).  Hallelujah!  A better  day  is  coming,  and  we  hope 
and  think  it  to  be  soon,  but  only  as  the  Lord  wills. 

So  let  us  remember  Christ  is  all,  and  He  needs  no  help ; 
and  He  is  the  Ark  of  the  New  Covenant,  and  it  is  death  to 
do  anything  toward  trying  to  steady  the  Ark. 

When  tribulation  comes,  there  is  only  one  thing  to  do  and 
that  is  to  stand  still,  and  wait  on’the  Lord,  for  Christ  is  all. 
It  is  death  to  take  thought  or  murmur  about  what  we  shall 
eat,  drink,  or  wear,  or  to  turn  a hand  over  to  help  God  to 
get  it,  this  is  death  in  the  pot ; hands  off,  for  Christ  is  all.

TWO  KINDS  OF  TEACHERS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

God  in  His  wisdom  has  set  before  us  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment, two  lines  of  natural  things,  called  good  and  evil, 
under  two  laws  of  works;  which  are  only  types  and 
shadows,  a symbol  of  something  better  to  come  (Hebrews 
11:38,39,40). 

Paul  says,  cursed  is  every  one  that  continueth  not  in  all 
works  of  the  law  to  do  them  (Galatians  3:10)  ; but  they 
were  all  cursed  of  God  for  no  one  ever  kept  the  natural  law 
of  carnal  works. 

As  it  is  written,  there  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no,  not  one 
(Romans  3:10-18)  ; for  this  is  the  natural  law  which  is  a 
type  of  death  and  destruction  (1st  Timothy  1 :9,10)  ; read 
it  and  quit  it  for  no  man  ever  did  keep  this  law. 

But  the  Father  has  set  before  us  the  law  of  faith,  for  he 
says  four  times  that  the  just  shall  live  by  faith,  and  that 
which  is  not  of  faith  is  sin ; but  the  man  who  lives  by  faith 
cannot  sin  after  he  is  born  of  the  Spirit,  (Romans  3:  27). 

Therefore,  dear  reader,  these  two  natural  lines  of  works ; 
namely  the  visible  works  of  toil  made  for  the  bondson,  and 
the  invisible  works  o‘f  faith  made  for  the  free  sons  are  our 
natural  schoolmaster  to  bring  us  to  Jesus  Christ,  that  we 
might  be  justified  by  faith  (Galatians  3:24). 

A good  Spiritual  teacher  is  a highly  educated  man  in 
Theology,  one  who  was  trained  when  a child  in  the  way  he 
should  go  and  when  he  grew  old,  he  could  never  depart 
from  it,  because  of  his  Spiritual  wisdom. 

He  was  first  trained  to  believe  in  God’s  supreme  power 
on  earth  and  in  heaven ; he  was  trained  to  believe  that  with- 
out God  he  could  do  nothing,  but  to  have  faith  in  His 
Word,  which  would  enable  him  by  the  power  of  the  Word 
to  do  all  things. 


68 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Faith  cometh  by  hearing  and  proving,  by  putting  into 
practice  what  the  word  of  inspiration  says.  Prove  all 
things,  as  Solomon  did,  then  hold  fast  to  that  which  is 
good. 

0 had  we  such  a teacher  as  that  today  filled  with  the 
Holy  Spirit,  his  words  would  be  like  apples  of  gold  in 
pictures  of  silver. 

His  words  would  be  like  Paul’s  words  when  he  wept  over 
his  brethren  for  going  back  to  the  filthy  lucre,  minding 
earthly  things.  He  said,  Ye  are  the  enemies  of  the  cross  of 
Christ,  whose  end  is  destruction,  whose  God  is  their  belly, 
whose  glory  is  in  their  shame,  who  mind  earthly  things 
(Philippians  3:18,19). 

So  you  can  see  dear  readers  that  our  natural  education 
came  from  the  natural  teachers,  who  worked  for  hire,  who 
taught  natural  things.  For  no  Spiritual  hireling  can  know 
his  Master’s  business,  then  how  can  he  teach  what  he  does 
not  know  ? Is  not  this  the  reason  why  we  have  all  been  try- 
ing to  serve  God  and  mammon? 

Are  not  all  Spiritual  teachers,  hirelings  today,  or  depend- 
ent on  the  flock  which  they  teach  for  their  support?  Is  it 
not  written,  that  the  just  shall  live  by  faith  ? Did  He  not 
give  us  all  an  example  of  faith,  when  He  came  to  the  place 
where  they  were  fishing  when  they  fished  all  night  and 
caught  nothing? 

Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Children,  have  ye  any  meat?  They 
answered  Him,  no.  And  He  said  unto  them,  cast  your  net 
on  the  right  side  of  the  boat  and  ye  shall  find,  they  did  so, 
and  now  they  were  not  able  to  draw  the  net  for  the  multi- 
tude of  fishes. 

As  soon  as  they  came  to  land  they  saw  a fire  of  coals 
there,  and  fish  laid  thereon,  and  bread.  Was  this  a miracle  ? 
Yes,  it  must  have  been  to  them  because  this  was  after  His 
resurrection,  and  the  third  time  He  appeared  unto  His 
disciples. 

Yes,  no  doubt,  when  they  saw  fire  and  fish  cooking  they 
wondered  where  He  got  the  fish  and  the  bread.

He  asked  them  to  come  and  dine,  so  when  they  had  dined, 
Jesus  said  to  Simon  Peter,  lovest  thou  me  more  than  these 
(fishes)  ? He  saith  unto  Him,  Yea,  Lord,  Thou  knowest 
that  I love  Thee.  He  saith  unto  him,  feed  my  lambs. 

He  saith  unto  him  the  second  time,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas, 
lovest  thou  Me?  He  saith  unto  Him,  yea,  Lord;  Thou 
knowest  that  I love  Thee.  He  saith  unto  him,  feed  my 
sheep. 

He  saith  unto  him  the  third  time,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas, 
lovest  thou  Me?  Peter  was  grieved  because  He  said  unto 
him  the  third  time,  Lovest  thou  Me?  And  he  said  unto 
Him,  Lord  Thou  knowest  all  things,  Thou  knowest  that  I 
love  Thee.  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Feed  my  sheep. 

No  doubt  at  the  time  when  these  Apostles  heard  these 
words  three  times,  like  the  people  of  today,  they  could  not 
fully  understand  why  He  should  speak  it  three  times. 

Did  not  our  Lord  then  give  His  Apostles  an  example  how 
to  feed  His  lambs  and  sheep ; and  not  for  the  lambs  and 
sheep  to  feed  them?  This  was  about  the  last  thing  He  did 
before  He  ascended  up  to  heaven. 

But  after  pentecost  when  the  pentecost  power  fell  on 
them  and  they  were  endued  with  power  from  on  High,  then 
they  could  fully  comprehend  its  meaning.  Their  eyes  were 
wholly  open  and  old  things  all  passed  away  and  all  things 
became  new. 

After  they  got  our  Lord ’s  baptism  of  Spirit  and  fire ; 
which  is  the  New  Birth,  which  we  all  look  for  today ; then 
to  them  it  would  be  their  common  occupation  to  eat  by 
faith  and  to  live  by  faith;  for  that  which  is  not  of  faith 
is  sin. 

Then  they  had  God  in  them,  who  made  the  fish  and  the 
same  power  that  fed  the  5000  souls  with  a handful  of 
bread  and  a few  fishes,  and  took  up  twelve  baskets  full  of 
fragments.

Because  no  one  can  do  these  miracles  today,  is  the  reason 
why  we  have  a world  full  of  teachers  who  claim,  that  the 
days  of  miracles  have  passed;  and  this  is  the  truth,  for 
where  there  are  no  martyrs,  there  is  no  power  with  God 
manifested. 

Can  God  live  in  a man  and  not  feed  him  ? When  He  fed 
His  Bride  in  the  catacombs  for  forty-two  months.  Did  He 
not  feed  old  wicked  Israel  for  forty  years  in  the  wilderness  ? 
And  not  one  ever  starved. 

Had  we  been  trained  when  children  by  Spiritual  teach- 
ers, we  would  have  known  how  Peter  and  all  of  God’s  fol- 
lowers fed  the  lambs  and  fed  the  sheep  (see  John  14:12). 
But  for  seventy-five  years  the  writer  has  not  seen  any 
Spiritual  shepherd  feed  his  flock  like  a good  natural  shep- 
herd feedeth  his  flock. 

But  all  shepherds,  not  being  Spiritual,  make  their  lambs 
and  sheep  feed  them,  just  the  reverse.  Does  not  this  prove 
that  we  are  asleep  and  need  to  be  woke  up? 

And  this  is  the  reason  why  it  is  written  that  men  shall 
put  good  for  evil  and  evil  for  good,  darkness  for  light  and 
light  for  darkness,  bitter  for  sweet  and  sweet  for  bitter; 
and  this  is  common.  But  how  can  we  see  to  do  any  better 
when  we  are  alike  asleep,  and  no  one  to  wake  us  up  since 
martyrdom  ceased. 

Well  Hallelujah!  We  believe  a better  day  is  coming 
soon  for  those  that  wake  up,  but  a horrible  day  of  storm, 
of  plundering,  of  stealing,  and  revelry  for  those  that  fail  to 
heed  the  call  to  wake  up. 

God  says,  the  people  of  the  north  shall  not  spare,  and 
nations  of  strange  language  shall  flood  the  countries  of  us 
Israelites,  and  the  cities  shall  be  wasted  without  inhabitant, 
and  not  a man  left  to  till  the  ground.

TWO  KINDS  OF  SEED  SOWING 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

God  has  provided  a season  for  the  natural  man  to  first 
prepare  the  land,  and  a time  to  sow  his  seed  and  then  the 
harvest ; every  thing  in  its  season  and  in  order ; he  must  not 
sow  out  of  season ; if  he  sows  too  early  frost  may  catch  it, 
and  if  he  sows  too  late  it  may  not  mature  or  come  to  per- 
fection. 

But  when  he  is  sowing  to  the  flesh,  if  he  desires  to  live 
a long  time  and  gee  good  days,  he  must  learn  before  he  gets 
old  to  be  temperate  in  all  things.  Temperate  in  his  eating 
and  drinking  and  also  in  his  working. 

The  word  of  God  is  all  powerful,  we  cannot  add  to  it  to 
make  it  stronger  or  sharper,  neither  can  we  take  from  it, 
to  lessen  its  vibration  or  dull  its  edge ; for  it  is  quick  and 
powerful. 

It  will  make  an  honest  husbandman,  who  is  a lover  of 
truth,  the  head  and  not  the  tail ; it  will  fill  him  full  of 
worldly  riches  so  that  he  can  loan  to  many  nations,  and 
never  borrow  and  no  sickness  nor  pestilence  can  ever  come 
nigh  his  dwelling  (Deuteronomy  chapter  28). 

Very  few  men  on  this  earth  today  have  this  earthly  bless- 
ing, and  they  are  mostly  Jews  who  are  honest  with  God, 
they  pay  Him  their  tithes  which  is  one-tenth  of  their 
incomes,  and  they  do  not  sound  a trumpet  and  tell  it 
abroad,  it  is  a debt  that  all  men  owe  to  God. 

It  is  written,  can  a man  rob  God?  He  says,  yet  ye  robbed 
Me  in  tithes  and  offerings,  even  this  whole  generation ; and 
I have  cursed  you  with  a curse ; I have  sent  you  poverty, 
I have  cursed  you  when  ye  went  out  and  when  ye  came  in, 
I have  cursed  you  in  basket  and  in  store. 

I have  sent  you  the  fever  and  the  burning  ague,  the 
emeroids  and  the  consumption,  and  the  diseases  of  the 
Egyptians  and  death  (Deuteronomy  chapters  27  and  28). 


72 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


But  bring  Me  in  the  tithes  into  My  storehouse  and  I will 
pour  you  out  such  a blessing  (money  blessing)  ; that  you 
will  not  be  able  to  contain  it  (Malachi  3:8,9,10).  But,  but 
will  you  do  it? 

The  word  is  all  powerful  which  says,  Whatsoever  a man 
soweth  that  shall  he  also  reap ; if  he  sows  to  the  flesh  he 
shall  of  the  flesh  reap  corruption-;  but  if  he  sows  to  the 
Spirit  he  shall  of  the  Spirit  reap  life  everlasting. 

But  after  he  has  heard  and  learned  of  the  Father,  and 
has  been  woke  up  and  has  been  drawn  by  the  Father  to  His 
Son  and  gets  His  Spirit  of  fire,  then  he  has  a new  teacher  ; 
he  never  goes  to  man  after  that  for  Spiritual  information. 

He  has  the  same  God  in  him  that  stood  in  the  fire  with 
the  three  Hebrew  children.  Then  he  will  have  to  be  careful 
for  nothing  because  all  visible  things  have  passed  away  and 
all  things  have  become  new.  0 hallelujah ! 

Then  the  millionaires  have  become  paupers  and  God’s 
poor  men  have  become  billionaires;  for  they  have  God’s 
true  riches  which  is  the  pearl  of  great  price  ; and  no  sick- 
ness can  come  nigh  unto  them : for  they  can  heal  all  manner 
of  sickness  and  never  be  sick  and  never  die  (John  6:50). 

Then  they  can  glory  in  tribulation,  even  when  tried  by 
beasts  and  by  fire,  for  Jesus  Christ  in  them  has  all  power 
over  all  flesh  and  nothing  can  hurt  them,  Hallelujah ! 0 

dearest  beloved  let  us  prove  this,  then  we  can  shine  as 
the  stars  of  heaven  for  ever  and  ever,  Hallelujah! 


TWO  KINDS  OF  SPIRITS 
GOOD  AND  EVIL 

We  are  all  natural  born  sinners  which  proves  our  evil 
spirit,  and  this  world  is  our  schoolhouse  and  the  word  of 
God  is  our  schoolmaster  to  bring  us  unto  that  which  is 
perfect  (see  1st  Corinthians  13:10)  viz.  Christ. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

FOR  CHRIST  IS  ALL  IN  ALL. 

And  it  surely  does  require  a God  given  preparation  to 
bring  us  unto  Him  who  is  perfect  for  His  new  birth  of 
Spirit  and  fire. 

God  the  Father  was  over  4000  years  giving  us  patterns, 
plans,  and  specifications  to  make  us  good,  that  He  might 
come  into  us  and  take  up  His  abode  with  us  forever. 

Among  all  of  God’s  old  patriarchs,  which  God  set  before 
us  on  these  two  lines  of  good  and  evil,  not  one  was  as  wise 
as  Solomon ; and  he  said  that  God  gave  to  a man  that  was 
good  in  His  sight,  Spiritual  wisdom,  knowledge  and  joy. 

But  to  the  sinner  He  gave  travail  (labor)  to  gather 
together  and  to  heap  up  that  he  may  give  to  them  that 
are  good  before  God.  This  is  also  vanity  which  is  a type 
of  the  evil  spirit  (Ecclesiastes  2:26). 

But  dear  brother,  the  quickest  and  easiest  way  to  become 
good  and  to  enjoy  God’s  wisdom  and  His  knowledge  is  to 
do  what  Solomon  says  on  the  line  of  wisdom; 

For  no  man  can  ever  get  the  new  birth  before  he  has 
heard  and  learned  of  the  Father  His  two  lines  of  good  and 
evil  characters  and  His  two  works;  viz.  of  vanity  and  of 
faith,  called  the  holy  and  the  profane  line. 

Hear  what  the  wise  preacher  says,  The  words  of  the 
Preacher,  the  son  of  David,  king  in  Jerusalem.  Vanity 
of  vanities,  all  is  vanity.  What  profit  hath  a man  of  all 
his  labor  which  he  taketh  under  the  sun? 

Therefore  if  we  desire  to  be  good  we  must  not  serve 
vanity,  but  do  what  our  Lord  says  in  John  6:27;  see  the 
sermon  on  the  mount  especially  Matthew  6 :19-34. 

All  things  are  full  of  labor ; saith  the  Preacher,  man  can- 
not utter  it:  Is  it  not  true? 

I,  the  Preacher,  was  king  over  Israel  in  Jerusalem  (40 
years).  And  I gave  my  heart  to  seek  and  search  out  by 
wisdom  concerning  all  things  that  are  done  under  heaven : 

This  sore  travail  (labor)  hath  God  given  to  the  sons  of 
man  to  be  exercised  therewith.  I have  seen  all  the  works

MIDNIGHT  CEY 


that  are  done  under  the  sun ; and,  behold,  all  is  vanity  and* 
vexation  of  spirit  (Eccelesiastes  1:12,13,14). 

Paul  says,  prove  all  things  and  hold  fast  that  which  is 
good;  also  abstain  from  all  appearance  of  evil  (1st  Thes- 
salonians  5 :21,22). 

We  must  remember  if  we  desire  to  be  good  and  be  clothed 
with  white  raiment,  and  shine  as  the  stars  of  heaven,  we 
must  learn  wisdom  from  above ; for  in  all  things  there  are 
two  kinds,  the  natural  and  the  spiritual. 

The  wisdom  of  this  world  is  foolishness  with  God  (1st 
Corinthians  3:19)  and  the  wisdom  of  God  who  made  all 
things  which  are  good,  is  for  truth  seekers. 

So  God  has  failed  in  nothing,  in  setting  before  us  His 
two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters. 

He  has  selected  and  chosen  out  from  among  His  twelve 
patriarchs,  the  sons  of  Jacob,  a preacher  the  wisest  of  all 
men,  who  has  proven  all  things  under  the  heavens  for  me 
as  well  as  for  you. 

But  under  the  new  covenant  of  grace  we  have  One  with 
greater  wisdom  than  that  of  Solomon  which  is  only  a type 
and  a shadow  of  the  wisdom  of  God,  Who  predestinated  all 
things  according  to  the  good  pleasure  of  His  will ; 

That  in  the  dispensation  of  the  fullness  of  times  He 
might  gather  together  all  things  in  Christ  (our  Messiah), 
both  which  are  in  heaven,  and  which  are  on  earth,  even  in 
Him  (Ephesians  1:5-10). 

For  He  is  the  substance  of  all  things,  yet  no  man  can 
come  to  Him  before  he  hath  first  heard  and  learned  of  the 
Father,  the  natural  and  visible  things  under  the  sun,  which 
is  all  vanity. 

No  Israelite,  who  is  of  the  descendants  of  the  twelve  sons 
of  Jacob,  can  escape  the  fumes  of  God’s  lake  of  fire  and 


MIDNIGHT  CRY  75 

brimstone ; who  serves  the  idol  of  vanity,  who  hunts  for 
worldly  treasure  called  vanity. 

The  word  vanity  means  vain  things,  perishable  things, 
which  was  a type  only  of  death  before  our  Lord  came  to 
redeem  us  from  the  curse  of  the  law,  which  made  the  wicked 
husbandman  serve  vanity  six  days  out  of  seven  and  then 
rest  one  day  called  Sabbath. 

But  our  Messiah  came  to  the  end  of  this  law  for  right- 
eousness, and  warns  one  and  all  to  lay  up  no  treasures  upon 
earth,  which  is  vanity,  for  they  shall  all  perish  as  well  as 
ourselves  who  have  them.  (Proof  see  Luke  14:33). 

This  preparation  has  been  out  of  date,  out  of  season,  and 
out  of  sight  ever  since  martyrdom  ceased  about  1780  A.D. 
See  God’s  two  kinds  of  training,  the  two  lines  of  good  and 
evil  characters. 

But  Solomon  has  told  us  how  he  got  his  wisdom  and  how 
he  proved  all  things  under  the  sun,  which  are  natural  and 
perishable  and  under  the  curse ; for  God  cursed  the  earth 
for  our  sakes. 

For  He  knew  that  it  would  be  hard  to  train  a natural 
man  to  not  look  upon  the  visible  things  of  earth,  and  to 
keep  him  from  going  into  everlasting  destruction. 

So  He  has  given  us  line  upon  line,  and  precept  upon 
precept,  especially  in  this  day  of  darkness  and  falling  away, 
to  let  no  m&n  deceive  us. 

But  here  we  are  without  a visible  practical  Spiritual 
teacher,  guide,  or  preacher  since  our  Lord’s  bride  was 
martyred  about  140  years  ago;  and  this  is  God’s  season 
to  wake  us  up. 

And  every  one  that  will  hear  and  learn  God’s  two  lines 
of  good  and  evil  characters  written  in  this  little  book,  called 
the  Midnight  Cry  will  find  the  strait-gate  into  God’s  nar- 
row road,  and  our  Lord  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day 
(John  6:44).

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


TWO  KINDS  OF  BLIND  MEN 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

Two  kinds  of  blind  men  are  represented  in  this  Article ; 
viz.  the  natural  blind  man  and  the  Spiritual  blind  man. 

The  natural  blind  man  knows  he  is  blind  and  no  man  is 
wise  enough  to  change  his  mind,  especially  if  he  had  been 
able  to  see  at  one  time. 

Therefore  no  man  can  know  a thing  as  well  as  the  man 
who  has  proved  it;  for  this  is  knowledge  that  no  man  can 
take  from  him. 

But,  but,  this  is  a day  of  Spiritual  falling  away,  a day  of 
total  Spiritual  darkness,  many  times  mentioned  in  this 
book. 

And  millions  of  honest  people  who  are  deaf,  dumb,  blind, 
and  asleep  to  Spiritual  wisdom  can  never  be  convinced  of 
this  fact. 

Because  we  have  all  been  taught  that  no  man  can  live 
without  sinning,  and  because  of  this  we  believe  that  the 
blood  of  Jesus  Christ  cleanses  us  from  all  sin,  and  for  this 
purpose  He  died  for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world  and  this 
is  truth,  all  this  He  did ; I ’ll  admit. 

But  if  He  died  for  the  sins  of  this  world,  how  can  anyone 
be  lost?  What  use  is  there  of  all  this  preaching,  and  all 
this  praying,  and  speaking  with  new  tongues?  Spending 
millions  of  money  every  year  for  the  salvation  of  the  people 
when  blood  saves  them? 

Is  not  this  all  confusion  ? Is  not  this  positive  proof  that 
we  are  all  Spiritually  blind,  and  asleep  and  ignorant  of 
the  fact? 

Practically  speaking  the  shed  blood  of  Jesus  Christ  clean- 
ses us  from  all  sin  when  we  practically  hear  and  learn  of 
the  Father’s  preparation  what  sin  is  and  quit  it,  and  choose 
God’s  holy  line  of  faith,  and  live  it. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


77 


Then  we  have  entered  into  a new  vineyard,  old  things 
have  passed  away,  then  we  have  confessed  our  sins  by  quit- 
ting them,  then  we  have  forgiveness  of  all  our  sins,  then 
we  are  washed  by  the  Word  which  is  Spirit  and  life  (John 
6:63). 

Then  we  are  new  creatures  in  Christ  Jesus;  then  we 
cannot  sin  any  more  because  we  are  born  of  God  (1st  John 
3:9),  then  we  are  kept  by  Him  Who  hath  all  power  over 
all  flesh. 

But  the  man  who  says  that  he  sees  in  this  season  of  over 
140  years  of  Prophetical  Spiritual  darkness  is  in  a terrible 
condition ; and  most  all  of  whom  are  past  redemption,  be- 
cause for  this  purpose  Christ  came  into  the  world  to  open 
the  eyes  of  the  blind  and  make  them  blind  who  say  they 
see  (Amos  5:18,20,21,23).  (See  article  4 'Only  one  way  to 
Repent). 


TWO  KINDS  OF  WISDOM 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

Solomon,  God ’s  natural  wise  man  after  the  flesh  says  it  is 
all  vanity ; for  he  could  not  help  being  wise  when  he  proved 
all  things  under  the  sun. 

But  dear  reader,  here  is  the  key  which  opens  the  door 
into  the  Spiritual  kingdom  of  God;  where  there  are  no 
delusions,  no  divisions,  no  confusions,  and  no  hatred ; 

Where  they  owe  no  man  anything  but  to  love  his  neighbor 
as  himself;  where  there  is  no  debating,  no  complaining, 
where  there  is  need  of  only  one  teacher,  one  doctor,  and 
no  debts  accumulated. 

And  peace  flows  like  a river  and  love  is  a consuming  fire 
and  joy  is  unspeakable  and  full  of  glory ; and  the  antitype 
of  the  Old  Testament  teaching,  the  Father’s  preparation; 

Which  is  the  two  separate  works  under  two  separate 
laws  and  is  the  type  of  two  separate  destinations,  to  wake  a 
man  up  and  open  his  eyes. 


78 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


And  when  he  sees,  he  sees  new  things  coming,  he  also 
commences  to  forget  the  past,  for  the  Word,  which  is  onr 
schoolmaster,  has  turned  on  the  searchlight  and  draws 
every  one  that  ever  comes  to  this  new  Spiritual  Teacher. 

He  comes  into  every  one  His  Father  sends,  for  none  other 
can  come,  He  leads  him  into  all  truth,  and  teaches  him  all 
things. 

Can  a blind  man  comprehend  the  meaning  of  these  words 
before  he  is  woke  up  to  see  what  the  Bridegroom  hath  said 
is  true?  And  if  we  fail  to  believe  it  we  will  die  in  our 
sins,  as  millions  have  died  in  the  last  140  years  just  as  the 
prophets  says. 

But  now  comes  the  awakening  and  soon  will  end  our 
schooling;  then  comes  the  enduement  of  his  power,  then 
comes  the  glorification,  when  the  saints  glory  in  tribulation, 
hallelujah  ! Oh,  halleuljah  ! 

Then  comes  the  time  when  faith  is  made  perfect,  then 
God  makes  a man  stand  in  the  very  fire,  then  he  realizes 
that  he  is  dead  to  the  world,  the  flesh  and  the  devil. 

Then  he  realizes  that  nothing  can  hurt  him,  neither  fire, 
beasts,  or  men;  for  he  has  God  in  him  a consuming  fire,  and 
his  joy  is  unspeakable  and  full  of  glory. 

Over  1700  years  God's  saints  had  such  a glorious  time, 
no  man  can  tell  it  but  themselves ; and  they  loved  not  their 
lives  to  the  death  (Revelation  12:11). 

Oh  dearest  friend,  how  can  we  afford  to  miss  this  prepa- 
ration, has  not  our  Lord  told  us  that  His  yoke  is  easy  and 
His  burden  light?  But  can  a man  know  a thing  when  he 
will  not  prove  it? 

Oh  dear  brother,  do  not  doubt  the  Word,  but  let  us  reac 
up  and  wake  up,  and  prove  up. 

If  a natural  child  refused  to  hear  and  learn  its  natural 
language,  it  would  grow  up  in  ignorance ; so  in  like  manner 
we  are  all  ignorant  of  Spiritual  things,  being  all  our  lives 
without  a teacher  to  rightly  divide  the  word  of  truth. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


79 


Therefore  we  fulfill  that  prophecy  which  says,  "We  shall 
put  good  for  evil  and  evil  for  good,  darkness  for  light  and 
light  for  darkness.” 

It  is  written,  Write  the  vision  and  make  it  plain:  There- 
fore many  things  have  been  repeated  over  and  over  in  this 
little  book. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  LOVE 
NATURAL  BEASTLY  LOVE  AND 
HOLY  SPIRITUAL  LOVE 

All  natural  love  is  like  the  mind,  it  comes  and  goes,  it  is 
variable,  it  is  worldly,  lustful,  sensual,  wicked  and  devilish 
(Jude  10th  verse). 

I love  you  when  you  love  me,  and  I will  hate  you  when 
you  hate  me ; an  eye  for  an  eye  and  a tooth  for  a tooth,  a 
hand  for  a hand  and  a foot  for  a foot ; always  rather  kill 
than  be  killed. 

This  is  natural  beastly  love,  this  love  is  wholly  void  of 
Spiritual  charity ; this  love  is  as  sounding  brass,  having  no 
weight,  no  charitable  substance;  it  genders  to  death  (see  1st 
Corinthians  13  :l-6) . 

But  pure  holy  Spiritual  love  is  like  apples  of  gold  in 
pictures  of  silver ; it  suffereth  long  and  is  kind,  it  thinketh 
to  do  no  evil,  when  smote  on  the  cheek,  it  has  power  with 
God  to  turn  the  other  cheek ; because  the  love  of  God  has 
been  richly  shed  abroad  in  his  heart  by  the  Holy  Spirit, 
which  was  given  to  him. 

Therefore  he  has  power  with  God  to  love  his  neighbor  as 
himself,  and  also  to  love  his  enemy  and  bless  him,  and  to 
speak  evil  of  no  man.  This  is  charity,  which  seeketh  not 
her  own  (1st  Corinthians  13:5),  for  God  has  given  him 
one  hundred  times  more  of  houses  and  lands  in  this  present 
life  than  he  who  strives  for  it  for  his  support. 

And  this  you  will  have  to  prove  if  you  will  ever  know 
God;  and  this  you  will  do,  so  our  Lord  says,  after  you 


80 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


have  heard  and  learned  this  message  of  the  Father,  then 
you  will  run  with  it.  But  the  promise  of  one  hundred  times 
more  in  this  life  to  support  us  has  never  been  practiced 
since  our  Lord  commenced  tarrying. 

This  I have  proven  to  my  own  satisfacton,  but  it  is  like 
casting  pearls  before  swine  today  to  mention  it.  Read  Luke 
10 :1-12  seven  times  and  get  well  acquainted  with  it ; it  will 
surely  supply  all  your  needs,  for  this  I have  proven  for 
many  years. 

For  no  man,  in  these  latter  days,  has  ever  been  called  or 
sent  of  God,  who  has  never  heard  or  learned  of  the  Father, 
His  two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters. 

If  it  was  so,  we  would  hear  of  martyred  ones  every  day, 
and  this  is  the  reason  why  there  are  no  sinless  saints ; this  is 
the  reason  there  are  no  whippings,  no  scourgings,  no  ston- 
ings,  no  whole  burnt  offerings,  and  no  lambs  for  the 
slaughter. 

Many  years  ago  the  Lord  showed  me  by  his  word  the  rea- 
son why  I was  a lying  hypocrite  and  a bastard  Christian. 
He  says  He  scourges  every  son  and  daughter  that  comes  to 
Him  otherwise  we  are  (spiritual)  bastards  and  not  sons. 

I said  I was  saved  and  that  was  a lie.  I had  never  learned 
what  repentance  was ; I minded  earthly  things ; I was  also 
a bastard  Christian  because  no  one  hated  me  for  my  relig- 
ion and  I was  never  whipped  or  scourged  like  the  saints 
were. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  COMMANDMENTS 
FOR  NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

The  ten  commandment  law  was  made  for  wicked,  mur- 
derous, whoring  and  unrighteous  lying  sinners;  proof,  1st 
Timothy  1 :9,  10.  But  grace  and  truth  came  by  Jesus 
Christ.  Therefore  our  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ 
gave  us  a new  commandment  which  says,  love  one  another. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


81 


Love  your  enemies  and  bless  them;  for  blessed  are  ye 
when  all  men  shall  hate  you,  and  when  they  shall  persecute 
you,  and  shall  say  all  manner  of  evil  against  you,  falsely, 
for  my  sake. 

Rejoice  and  be  exceeding  glad : for  great  is  your  reward 
in  heaven : for  so  persecuted  they  the  prophets  which  were 
before  you  (Matthew  5:11,12). 

For  where  there  is  no  type  there  is  no  antitype,  and 
where  there  is  no  shadow  there  is  no  substance  (see  PauFs 
persecutions,  which  is  substance  2nd  Corinthians  11:23-30). 

James  says,  count  it  all  joy  when  ye  fall  into  divers  temp- 
tations, and  let  patience  have  her  perfect  work ; wherefore 
my  beloved  brethen,  let  every  man  be  swift  to  hear  and  slow 
to  speak,  slow  to  wrath. 

If  any  man  among  you  seem  to  be  religious,  and  bridleth 
not  his  tongue,  but  deceiveth  his  own  heart,  this  man’s 
religion  is  vain  (James  1st  chapter).  To  fulfill  the  royal 
law  according  to  the  scripture,  thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbor 
as  thyself,  ye  do  well : 

But  if  ye  have  respect  to  persons,  ye  commit  sin,  and  are 
convinced  of  the  law  as  transgressors.  For  whosoever  shall 
keep  the  whole  law,  and  yet  offend  in  one  point,  he  shall 
be  guilty  of  all  (James  2:8-26). 

Truly,  truly,  today  our  religion  is  vain  because  where 
there  are  divisons  there  is  respect  to  persons,  therefore  our 
hearts  are  impure  and  our  works  are  selfish,  because  they 
are  carnal,  which  is  vanity  and  perishable  under  the  law  of 
death,  and  not  under  the  law  of  love ; which  is  the  law  of 
faith,  which  says,  labor  not  for  the  meat  which  perisheth 
(John  6:27). 

But  seek  first  the  kingdom  of  God  and  His  righteousness 
and  all  these  things  shall  be  added  unto  you.  Therefore  if 
ye  love  Me,  ye  will  keep  My  new  commandment;  and  the 
works  that  I do  shall  ye  do  also  and  greater  works  shall 
ye  do  after  I go  to  My  Father  (John  14:12). 


82 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


These  works  and  His  signs  of  raising  the  dead,  healing 
the  sick,  feeding  the  poor,  restoring  sight  to  the  blind, 
cleansing  the  lepers,  casting  out  devils,  and  speaking  with 
new  tongues  followed  the  pentecost  saints  (Acts  4:30). 

It  is  written,  bridle  your  tongue,  and  offend  no  one  as 
far  as  it  lieth  within  you ; therefore  give  not  that  which  is 
holy  unto  dogs;  for  they  are  fierce  despisers  of  those  that 
are  good,  having  a form  of  Godliness  but  denying  the 
power  thereof  from  such  turn  away  (2nd  Timothy  4:1-4). 

Neither  cast  ye  your  pearls  before  swine  lest  they  turn 
again  and  rend  you ; for  these  formalists  killed  our  Lord, 
and  they  killed  our  Lord’s  bride.  And  it  is  written,  that 
they  shall  kill  the  Lord’s  servants  and  also  their  brethren 
(Revelation  6 :11). 

The  servants  of  the  Lord  are  the  144,000,  who  are  now 
reading  up,  and  waking  up  from  a long  sleep  as  well  as 
many  of  their  brethren  will  also  wake  up  who  will  not  be 
sealed. 

Because  they  will  not  have  on  their  wedding  garment, 
neither  will  they  have  the  new  birth,  therefore  they  cannot 
be  immortal  (Revelation  7:1-8). 

But  these  are  they  who  will  learn  to  know  the  beasts  and 
their  marks,  who  will  be  killed  rather  than  to  bow  down 
to  their  commands. 

For  it  is  written,  he  that  will  seek  to  save  his  life  shall 
lose  his  life ; but  he  that  will  lose  his  life  for  the  kingdom 
of  heaven’s  sake  shall  find  it  (Mark  8 :35) . But  be  sure  that 
you  read  up  and  wake  up. 

TWO  KINDS  OF  SALVATION 
GOD’S  KIND  AND  MAN’S  KIND 
A KNOW-SO  SALVATION  AND 
A THINK-SO  SALVATION 

God’s  know-so  salvation  commenced  at  pentecost,  after 
they  had  heard  and  learned  of  the  Father,  His  plans,  pat- 
terns, lines  and  specifications. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


83 


They  could  not  come  to  the  Lord  before  they  had  the 
proper  training;  how  to  present  their  bodies  to  the  Lord 
a living  sacrifice,  holy,  clean,  and  made  white  ; an  acceptable 
sacrifice  without  spot  or  blemish. 

No  man  can  be  drawn  by  the  Father  to  our  Lord  except 
he  hath  first  been  taught  of  the  Father  and  hath  been  drawn 
by  His  preparation  to  His  Son,  our  Lord. 

Then  our  Lord  accepts  his  sacrifice,  because  he  has  heard 
and  learned  the  difference  between  the  good  and  evil ; there- 
fore his  sacrifice  is  holy  and  without  a spot  or  blemish ; 
because  His  Father  could  not  send  an  unholy,  unclean 
sacrifice  to  His  Son. 

This  kind  of  preparation  brings  a know-so  salvation ; 
but  all  other  kinds  bring  a think-so  salvation,  which  is  a 
strong  God-sent  delusion. 

Millions,  yea  multiplied  millions  will  come  up  naked  be- 
fore God;  as  naked  as  Adam  and  Eve  were  when  their  eyes 
were  opened,  after  they  both  had  sinned. 

Millions  who  have  died  without  the  Father’s  preparation, 
who  thought  they  were  saved  who  never  knew  how  to  wash 
themselves  clean,  nor  how  to  purify  themselves  by  the 
practice  of  the  word,  until  they  were  white ; 

And  because  of  this  lack  of  knowledge  their  offering  ' 
was  unholy  and  the  Father  could  not  and  did  not  draw 
them  to  His  Son ; for  it  is  written,  No  man  can  come  to 
Me  except  the  Father  which  hath  sent  Me,  draw  him ; and 
I will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day. 

Because  he  has  heard  and  learned  by  the  word  these  two 
lines  of  good  and  evil  characters,  demonstrated  by  living 
subjects,  representing  good  and  evil,  life  and  death,  on  the 
Cain  and  Abel,  Ishmael  and  Isaac,  Esau  and  Jacob  line. 

This  is  the  preparation  which  has  been  lost  over  one 
hundred  and  forty  years ; for  without  this  preparation  our 
Lord  says,  no  man  can  come  to  Him.  And  no  man  has 
come  to  Him  since  martyrdom  ceased  about  1780  A. I). 


84 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


No  man  could  be  taught  the  Father's  patterns,  plans, 
and  specifications  after  His  bride  made  herself  ready,  and 
we  all  fell  asleep  Spiritually;  when  the  sun  turned  as 
black  as  sackcloth  of  hair. 

And  this  we  mention  many  times  to  prove  to  you  the 
reason  why  we  have  all  lived  in  Spiritual  darkness  ever 
since : and  then  we  will  not  forget  it. 

And  since  that  time  the  door  of  mercy  has  been  shut  and 
all  that  man  could  possibly  have  since  that  time  is  a think-so 
salvation  full  of  strong  God  sent  delusions. 

And  this  day  of  Spiritual  ignorance,  and  of  Spiritual 
darkness,  and  of  Spiritual  falling  away  from  the  truth, 
into  these  delusions,  we  have  all  been  warned  against,  to 
let  no  man  deceive  us  (2nd  Thessalonians  2:1-12). 

So  these  delusions  have  caused  great  confusion,  and  a 
time  of  Spiritual  wickedness  in  high  places;  all  living 
under  the  old  natural  laws  of  types  and  shadows,  all  mind- 
ing earthly  things,  since  martyrdom  ceased. 

Falling  away  from  oneness  into  hundreds  of  divisions. 
Falling  away  from  truth,  which  gives  light,  into  Spiritual 
darkness,  delusion,  and  confusion. 

The  author  of  this  book  has  been  proving  the  Sermon  on 
the  Mount  over  thirty  years,  which  is  practicing  (Luke  10: 
1-12).  Read  it  seven  times. 

The  Sermon  on  the  Mount  (Matthew  5,6,7),  is  the  key  to 
the  door  of  our  Lord's  four  Gospels;  most  any  of  it  is  too 
strong  a meat  for  any  one  today ; before  he  has  first  heard 
and  learned  the  Father's  preparation. 

No  man  can  practice  our  Lord's  sayings,  before  he  has 
first  heard  and  learned  God's  power  over  all  flesh;  then 
we  will  have  power  of  faith  to  prove  Luke  10 :1-12,  and 
also  Matthew  6 :24-34. 

A man  who  lives  by  faith  knows  what  it  means  to  not 
lay  up  treasures  for  the  morrow.  He  will  soon  learn  that  it 
is  a shame  to  mind  earthly  things  (Philippians  3:18,19).

Yes  he  will  soon  know  that  it  is  a double  shame  to  do  any 
thing  to  support  self,  with  a promised  income  of  one  hun- 
dredfold above  the  natural  man’s  wages;  but,  remember 
with  persecutions  (Mark  10:29,  30). 

This  persecution  we  have  not  seen  in  our  day  because  we 
have  all  been  cradled  to  sleep  by  our  blood  kin  and  others 
in  carnal  security.  All  alike  Spiritually  deaf,  dumb,  blind 
and  asleep  (see  Matthew  25:5,6).. 

The  blind  leading  the  blind  is  our  terrible  condition 
today.  God’s  chosen  elect  people,  and  the  murderous 
wolves,  all  asleep  just  alike. 

But  dearest  beloved,  we  are  all  asleep,  and  nothing  can 
wake  us  up  but  truth  ; and  it  does  not  mean  just  a little 
truth,  but  it  means  the  whole  truth. 

Millions  of  think-so  believers  have  some  truth,  and  also 
some  good  works  mixed  with  sin : but  our  Lord  says,  he 
that  committeth  sin  is  a child  of  the  devil  (1st  John  3:8). 

But  he  that  is  born  of  the  Spirit  sinneth  not,  and  he 
cannot  sin  because  he  has  God  in  him,  who  is  able  to  keep 
him  and  preserve  him  blameless  (see  1st  John  3 :9 ; 1st  Thes- 
salonians  5:23). 

This  is  the  know-so  salvation,  ten  million  times  greater 
than  the  think-so  salvaton  who  are  all  living  in  slavery. 

The  writer  has  not  begged  or  borrowed,  or  taken  up  a 
collection  or  worked  with  his  hands  (John  6 :27),  or  bought, 
sold,  traded  or  trafficked  for  a dollar  for  his  support  for 
thirty  years,  to  prove  Luke  10:1-12;  and  yet  he  has  not 
the  gift  of  the  Holy  Spirit. 

God  has  a season  and  a set  time  for  every  purpose  and 
work  under  the  sun ; and  why  should  the  writer  try  to 
force  God  to  do  for  him  what  He  will  not  and  cannot  do  for 
others,  before  His  set  or  appointed  time ; for  His  door  is 
shut  with  a time  key  or  He  would  not  have  warned  us  to 
wait  (Habakkuk  2:2,  3;  Revelation  3:7).

He  says,  by  measure  hath  He  measured  the  times,  and  by 
numbers  hath  He  numbered  the  times,  and  He  doth  nol 
move  said  measure  until  said  numbers  be  fulfilled. 

And  His  numbers  in  His  prophetical  season  and  time 
cannot  be  fulfilled  before  His  prophetical  vision  is  written 
and  made  plain  so  that  the  reader  can  read  and  run. 

And  this  is  what  we  all  have  been  warned  to  wait  for  ever 
since  the  darkening  of  the  sun  and  moon,  1780  A.  D.  and 
the  falling  stars.  This  we  mention  more  than  once  because 
inspiration  says,  write  the  vision  and  make  it  plain. 

Every  sane  man  or  any  one  who  will  read  up  and  wake 
up  will  see  when  the  sun  turned  as  black  as  sackcloth  of 
hair,  that  it  is  symbolical  of  the  door  of  mercy  being  shut 
(Revelation  3 :7) . 

For  the  sun  is  a type  of  our  Lord  and  the  moon  a type 
of  our  Lord’s  bride,  and  the  falling  stars  a type  of  us 
Israelites  falling  away  from  truth  into  Spiritual  darkness 
to  the  day  this  book  fell  into  your  hands. 

There  is  a better  day  coming  to  every  one  that  loves 
truth.  This  same  preparation  saved  millions  of  saints, 
who  washed  themselves  and  made  themselves  white  in  the 
blood  of  the  Lamb  (Revelation  7 :14). 

And  this  is  the  mysterious  way  they  washed  themselves 
in  the  blood  of  the  Lamb ; and  if  you  do  not  understand  it, 
it  is  because  you  are  still  asleep ; and  need  to  be  woke  up. 

So  be  sure  that  you  do  wake  up  and  then  God  will  give 
you  ears  to  hear,  and  eyes  to  see  and  an  understanding 
heart,  which  will  be  all  new. 

The  cry  is  all  oyer  the  world  today  by  the  millions:  “I 
see  and  I do  believe ; ” I feel  I am  saved,  I know  the  blood 
cleanses  me  from  all  sin,  ’ ’ and  at  the  same  time  if  Paul  was 
here,  he  certainly  would  weep  over  us  all.  (Please  read 
Philippians  3:18,19). 

Yes,  the  blood,  the  blood;  Oh,  how  they  sing,  “The  blood, 
the  blood,  the  precious  blood.”  And  yet  they  have  all  died 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

in  the  past  140  years  with  all  manner  of  horrible  diseases ; 
whereas  no  sickness  or  pestilence  can  come  nigh  a saint’s 
dwelling  (Deuteronomy  7 :15). 

And  in  our  blind  ignorance  they  were  all  preached  into 
heaven : Yea,  innocent  and  honest  in  our  blindness,  strain- 
ing at  a gnat  and  swallowing  a camel;  crying  out  in  our 
sins,  “the  blood,  the  blood,  cleanses  me  today  from  all  sin.” 

I,  with  millions  of  others  have  said  our  prayers  at  night 
and  the  next  day  we  worked  all  day  at  the  bondson  trade 
minding  earthly  things,  full  of  wantonness,  covetousness, 
and  travail,  looking  upon  the  things  that  are  seen;  but 
perfectly  satisfied  for  we  have  all  been  trained  to  just 
believe  or  say  we  believe  and  the  blood  is  the  cleanser. 

But  0 vain  man  learn  God’s  preparation  and  wake  up, 
and  learn  to  wash,  and  cleanse,  and  purify,  and  make  your- 
self white  by  the  washing  of  regeneration  in  the  blood,  in 
the  Word. 

Is  not  the  Word  of  God  Spirit  and  life  ? Is  not  the  Word 
of  our  Lord  the  true  Bread  that  came  down  from  heaven  ? 
Is  not  His  Word  flesh? 

Does  not  our  Lord  say,  except  ye  eat  the  flesh  of  the  son 
of  man  and  drink  His  blood,  you  have  no  life  in  you  ? Or, 
except  you  eat  His  word  and  practice  the  same,  you  have 
no  life  in  you? 

He  also  says,  whoso  eateth  my  flesh  (word)  and  drinketh 
my  blood  (practice  my  word)  hath  eternal  life,  and  I will 
raise  him  up  at  the  last  day.  He  that  eateth  my  flesh 
(word)  and  drinketh  my  blood  (practice  what  I say)  dwell- 
eth  in  Me  and  I in  him. 

As  the  living  Father  hath  sent  me,  and  I live  by  the 
Father ; so  he  that  eateth  me,  (eat  His  word  and  practice 
it)  even  he  shall  live  by  Me.

This  is  that  bread  which  came  down  from  heaven : (whose 
word  is  the  true  bread,  John  6 :50)  : not  as  your  fathers  did 
eat  manna  and  are  dead : he  that  eateth  of  this  bread  shall 

LIVE  FOR  EVER. 

This  is  that  bread  which  cometh  down  from  heaven  (the 
Word)  that  a man  may  eat  thereof  and  not  die.  It  is  the 
Spirit  that  quickeneth ; the  flesh  profiteth  nothing : but  the 
words  that  I speak  unto  you,  they  are  Spirit  and  they  are 
life  (see  John  6:63). 

Dear  reader,  you  can  see  and  know  that  the  words  of  the 
New  Testament  Covenant  are  all  a dead  letter,  except  we 
practice  it;  our  Lord  says,  His  word  is  Spirit  and  it  is 
life ; but  how  can  we  get  the  life  or  substance  out  of  the 
word  when  we  fail  to  prove  it? 

If  the  Word  is  flesh,  if  it  is  Spirit  and  life,  we  all  know 
there  is  no  life  in  the  flesh  without  the  blood ; therefore  if 
we  eat  the  word  and  practice  the  word,  we  drink  His 
blood,  then  we  get  Under  the  Blood,  then  we  get  Eternal 
Life,  then  we  shall  never  hunger  nor  thirst  for  water,  nor 
ever  see  death  (John  6:27-63). 

Then  we  are  new  creatures,  old  things  have  all  passed 
away  and  all  things  have  become  new ; then  we  think  alike : 
our  words  are  all  inspiration. 

Then  it  is  not  I that  liveth  but  Christ  that  liveth  in  me, 
so  Paul  says,  Oh  ! Oh  ! How  glorious,  Hallelujah ! Oh  let  us 
now  commence  to  praise  Him  for  the  glorious  prospect  be- 
fore us;  which  is  all  Spirit  and  life. 

So  the  blood  is  in  the  word,  and  the  flesh  is  in  the  word, 
and  the  bread  is  in  the  word,  and  the  washing,  and  the 
cleansing,  and  the  purifying,  and  making  white  is  all  in 
the  Word;  which  is  the  blood,  which  is  Spirit  and  life,  all 
in  the  word ; for  the  word  is  God  and  God  is  a consuming 
fire.  Hallelujah  ! HALLELUJAH  !

TWO  KINDS  OF  VISIONS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 
WRITE  THE  VISION  AND  MAKE  IT  PLAIN 

The  Prophet  Habakkuk  says,  Write  the  vision  and  make 
it  plain  upon  tables  (tablets)  that  he  may  run  that  readeth 
it.  For  the  vision  is  yet  for  an  appointed  time,  but  at  the 
end  it  shall  speak  and  not  lie : though  it  tarry,  wait  for  it ; 
because  it  will  surely  come,  it  will  not  be  delayed. 

Sanctify  the  Lord  of  hosts  himself ; and  let  Him  be  your 
fear,  and  let  Him  he  your  dread. 

All  visions  of  God’s  true  prophets  are  inspiration  of  God 
and  are  profitable  for  us  all  who  love  truth.  And  this  is 
the  reason  why  the  Lord  says;  Write  the  vision  and  make  it 
plain. 

Habakkuk,  in  his  vision,  saw  the  world’s  wickedness  in 
his  day;  and  God  had  it  recorded,  for  it  is  a type  of  this 
sin  cursed  earth  of  this  day. 

He  inquired  of  the  Lord  the  reason  why  He  allowed  the 
wicked  to  devour  the  man  that  is  more  righteous 
than  himself ; for  he  says,  thou  makest  men  as  the  fishes  of 
the  sea,  as  the  creeping  things,  that  have  no  ruler  over  them. 

They  catch  them  in  their  net  (their  net  is  their  bewitch- 
ing speeches),  they  also  gather  them  in  their  drags;  because 
by  them  their  portion  is  fat  and  their  meat  plenteous 
(Habakkuk  1st  chapter).  Behold,  his  soul  which  is  lifted 
up  is  not  upright  in  him ; for  the  just  shall  live  by  his  faith 
(Habakkuk  2:4). 

But  how  can  a man  be  a just  man  today  when  he  is 
devoured  by  the  man  more  wicked  than  himself  ? And  how 
can  a man  live  by  faith  when  men  have  been  Spiritually 
asleep  for  over  100  years,  or  since  martyrdom  ceased? 

The  prophet  says  here  is  a token  of  the  near  coming  of  the 
Lord;  “that  men  shall  be  deceived  in  great  numbers,  that 
the  land  shall  be  barren  of  faith  and  the  truth  hidden.”

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Hear  what  the  prophet  Isaiah  says,  Hear,  0 heavens, 
and  give  ear,  0 earth,  I have  nourished  and  brought  up 
children,  and  they  have  rebelled  against  Me. 

The  ox  knoweth  his  owner  and  the  ass  his  master ’s  crib : 
but  Israel  doth  not  know,  my  people  doth  not  consider. 
Ah  sinful  nation,  they  have  provoked  the  Holy  One  of 
Israel  unto  anger.  Your  country,  strangers  shall  make  it 
desolate,  your  cities  shall  be  burned  with  fire  in  your  pres- 
ence. 

And  the  daughters  of  Zion  are  left  as  a besieged  city 
without  a shepherd  (Isaiah  56:10,11). 

Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye  rulers  of  Sodom  (or  Baby- 
lon) ; the  newT  moons  and  the  calling  of  assemblies,  I cannot 
away  with ; it  is  iniquity,  even  the  solemn  meeting.  Your 
appointed  feasts  my  soul  hateth : I am  weary  to  bear  them. 

And  when  ye  spread  forth  your  hands,  I will  hide  mine 
eyes  from  you : yea,  when  ye  make  many  prayers,  I will  not 
hear : your  hands  are  full  of  blood. 

Wash  you,  make  you  clean;  put  away  evil  doings  from 
before  mine  eyes;  so  this  is  the  condition  we  are  in  now 
(Isaiah  first  chapter). 

The  land  is  full  of  silver  and  gold,  and  no  end  of  their 
chariots ; the  land  is  full  of  idols,  they  worship  the  works  of 
their  hands;  cease  ye  from  man,  whose  breath  is  in  his 
nostrils.  In  that  day  men  shall  cast  their  gold  and  silver 
to  the  moles  and  bats  (Isaiah  2nd  chapter).  Woe  unto  the 
wicked  it  shall  be  ill  with  him. 

JERUSALEM  A FENCED  VINEYARD 

My  beloved  hath  u vineyard  in  a very  fruitful  hill : and 
he  fenced  it,  and  planted  it  with  the  choicest  vine  (Israel), 
and  built  a tower  in  the  midst  of  it,  and  also  made  a wine- 
press therein : and  he  looked  that  it  should  bring  forth 
grapes,  and  it  brought  forth  wild  grapes. 

And  now  0 inhabitants  of  Jerusalem,  judge,  I pray  you, 
betwixt  me  and  my  vineyard.  What  could  have  been  done 
more  to  my  vineyard,  that  I have  not  done  in  it?  Where- 


MIDNIGHT  CRY  91 

fore  when  I looked  that  it  should  bring  forth  grapes,  it 
brought  forth  wild  grapes  ? 

And  now  I will  tell  you  what  I will  do : I will  take  away 
the  hedge  thereof,  and  I will  lay  it  waste ; thorns  and  briars 
shall  come  up.  This  vineyard  of  the  Lord  is  the  house  of 
Israel,  and  the  men  of  Judah  His  pleasant  plant : He  looked 
for  righteousness  but  behold  a cry. 

Woe  unto  them  that  join  house  to  house  and  field  to  field, 
of  a truth  many  houses  shall  be  desolate.  Woe  unto  them 
that  rise  up  early  in  the  morning  to  drink  wine  (this  is 
Judah),  the  harp,  the  viol,  the  pipe  and  wine  are  in  their 
feasts. 

Therefore  hell  (the  grave)  hath  enlarged  herself  without 
measure  and  the  mean  shall  be  brought  into  it.  Woe  unto 
them  that  call  evil  good  and  good  evil,  who  put  darkness 
for  light  and  light  for  darkness,  woe  unto  them  that  are 
wise  in  their  own  eyes,  which  justify  the  wicked  for  reward, 
DANGER  AHEAD,  BEWARE. 

He  will  lift  up  an  ensign  to  the  nations  from  far,  and 
will  hiss  unto  them  from  the  ends  of  the  earth : and,  behold, 
they  shall  come  with  speed  swiftly:  none  shall  be  weary 
nor  stumble  among  them;  none  shall  slumber  nor  sleep. 

Whose  arrows  are  sharp,  the  horse’s  hoofs  shall  be  count- 
ed like  flint  (see  Revelation  9:16,  17)  ; where  two  hundred 
million  will  be  on  horseback ; and  God  is  getting  them  ready 
now. 

Their  roaring  shall  be  like  a lion,  it  shall  be  like  the 
roaring  of  the  sea : and  if  one  look  unto  the  land,  behold 
darkness  and  sorrow,  and  the  light  will  be  darkened  in  the 
heavens  (Isaiah  fifth  chapter). 

ISAIAH’S  VISION  OF  THE  LORD’S  GLORY 

An  angel  touched  his  lips  with  a live  coal  from  off  the 
altar,  which  took  away  his  iniquity ; also  he  heard  the  voice 
of  the  Lord,  saying,  whom  shall  I send?  Then  said  he, 
here  am  I,  send  me.

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


This  is  what  the  Midnight  Cry  is  for ; first  to  hear  it  and 
wake  np  and  learn  it,  and  then  run  with  it.  Here  am  I, 
Lord,  send  me.  Then  said  I,  how  long,  Lord?  And  He 
answered,  Until  the  cities  be  wasted  without  inhabitant,  and 
the  houses  without  man,  and  the  land  be  utterly  desolate 
(Isaiah  sixth  chapter). 

For  unto  us  a Child  is  born,  unto  us  a Son  is  given : and 
the  government  shall  be  upon  His  shoulder : and  His  name 
be  called  Wonderful,  Counsellor,  The  Mighty  God,  The 
Everlasting  Father,  The  Prince  of  Peace.  Of  the  increase 
of  His  government  and  of  peace  there  shall  be  no  end  (in 
his  1000  year  reign  (Revelation  20:6). 

BUT  BEFORE  THIS  THERE  SHALL  BE 
A TIME  OF  TROUBLE 

For  the  leaders  of  the  people  cause  Israel  to  err;  and 
they  that  are  led  of  them  are  destroyed.  Through  the  wrath 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts  is  the  land  darkened,  and  the  people 
shall  be  as  the  fuel  of  the  fire : no  man  shall  spare  his 
brother  (soon  this  will  be  common).  Men  shall  eat  the 
flesh  of  their  own  arm:  Ephraim  (Great  Britain)  and 
Manasseh  (America)  shall  eat  each  other  in  the  siege  (see 
Isaiah  ninth  chapter). 

Therefore  shall  the  Lord  send  among  His  fat  ones  lean- 
ness; and  under  His  glory  He  shall  kindle  a burning  like 
the  burning  of  a fire.  And  the  light  of  Israel  shall  be  for 
a fire,  and  His  holy  one  for  a flame  (see  Hebrews  1 :7)  ; and 
it  shall  burn  and  devour  His  thorns  and  His  briars  in  one 
day.  (It  is  said  three  years). 

The  remnant  shall  return,  even  the  remnant  of  Jacob, 
unto  the  mighty  God  for  though  thy  people  be  as  the  sand 
of  the  sea,  yet  a remnant  shall  return  or  be  saved.  For  the 
Lord  shall  hew  down  with  terror,  the  high  ones  of  stature, 
and  the  haughty  shall  be  humbled  ( see  Isaiah  tenth  chap- 
ter).

I have  commanded  my  sanctified  ones,  I have  also  called 
the  mighty  ones  for  mine  anger,  even  them  that  rejoice  in 
My  Highness.  The  noise  of  a multitude,  a tumultuous  noise 
of  the  kingdoms  of  nations  (this  is  the  ten  horned  beast 
(Revelation  17:12,  13)  gathered  together:  the  Lord  of 
hosts  mustered  the  host  to  battle. 

They  come  from  a far  country,  from  the  end  of  heaven, 
even  the  Lord,  and  the  weapons  of  His  indignation,  to 
destroy  the  whole  land.  Howl  ye ; for  the  day  of  the  Lord 
is  at  hand ; it  shall  come  as  a destruction  of  the  Almighty. 
Therefore  shall  all  hands  be  faint,  and  every  man’s  heart 
shall  melt  (who  are  not  sanctified). 

They  shall  be  afraid  for  the  day  of  the  Lord  cometh, 
cruel  both  with  wrath  and  fierce  anger,  to  lay  the  land 
desolate : and  He  shall  destroy  the  sinners  thereof  out  of  it. 

TRULY  THIS  IS  OUR  WIND  UP, 

WHO  WILL  HEAR  IT  ? 

I will  punish  the  world  for  their  evil ; therefore  I will 
shake  the  heavens,  and  the  earth  shall  remove  out  of  her 
place,  in  the  wrath  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  in  the  day  of 
His  fierce  anger.  They  shall  every  man  turn  to  his  own 
people,  and  flee  to  his  own  land. 

And  every  one  that  is  found  shall  be  thrust  through ; 
and  every  one  that  is  joined  unto  them  shall  fall  by  the 
sword,  (except  all  those  who  are  sanctified,  nothing  can 
hurt  them)  ; therefore  hear  and  learn  the  Father’s

(Revelation  17 :5)  and  shall  be  as  when  God  overthrew 
Sodom  and  Gomorrah  (Isaiah  13th  chapter). 

Many  think  this  is  not  the  MAN  OF  SIN,  but  not  so. 
How  art  thou  fallen  from  heaven  0 Lucifer,  son  of  the 
morning?  How  art  thou  cut  down  to  the  ground,  which 
didst  weaken  the  nations  ? 

For  thou  hast  said  in  thine  heart,  I will  ascend  into 
heaven,  I will  exalt  my  throne  above  the  stars  of  God:  (see 
2nd  Thessalonians  2:3,4).  Is  he  not  the  ten  horned  beast, 
the  last  ruler?  Is  not  this  Esau,  the  Mohammet  power? 
(See  Revelation  17  :12,13). 

He  exalteth  himself  above  all  that  is  called  God  or  that 
is  worshipped;  so  that  he  as  God  sitteth  in  the  temple  of 
God  (at  Jerusalem),  calling  himself  God. 

And  then  shall  that  wicked  be  revealed,  whom  the  Lord 
shall  consume  with  the  breath  of  His  mouth,  and  shall 
destroy  with  the  brightness  of  His  coming : saith  the  King 
of  kings  and  Lord  of  lords. 

Prepare  slaughter  for  his  children  for  the  iniquities  of 
their  fathers. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  JUST  MEN 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 
THE  JUST  SHALL  LIVE  BY  FAITH 
FIRST  NATURAL  THEN  SPIRITUAL 

First  the  Old  Testament  of  types  and  shadows,  then  the 
New  Testament  of  the  antitype  and  substance. 

Faith  is  the  substance  of  things  hoped  for,  the  evidence 
of  things  not  seen  (Hebrews  11:1).  Look  not  upon  the 
things  which  are  seen,  for  the  things  hoped  for  are  the 
things  which  are  invisible. 

For  the  just  shall  live  by  his  faith  (Habakkuk  2 :4)  ; for 
that  which  is  not  of  faith  is  sin,  if  ye  eat  not,  or  live  not 
by  faith  it  is  sin  (Romans  14:23), 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

And  he  that  sinneth  is  a child  of  the  devil  (1st  John  3: 
8,9)  and  for  this  cause  I came  into  the  world  to  destroy 
the  works  of  the  devil  saith  the  Lord  (1st  John  3:8,9). 

Therefore  faith  is  the  substance  of  things  hoped  for,  the 
evidence  of  things  not  seen. 

And  he  that  saith,  Lord,  Lord,  and  provideth  not  the 
faith  of  Jesus  Christ  for  his  own,  and  especially  for  those 
of  his  own  house,  he  hath  denied  the  faith  of  Jesus  Christ, 
and  is  worse  than  an  infidel. 

The  foundation  of  the  works  of  a just  man  is  his  faith 
In  the  Word  of  Jesus  Christ,  for  His  Word  is  Spirit  and 
life. 

And  no  man  can  see  a spirit  therefore  blessed  is  the  man 
who  belie veth  and  hath  not  seen,  and  yet  he  lacketh  nothing, 
whose  needs  are  all  supplied  (Luke  10:1-18)  ; for  he  is  a 
believer  in  the  invisible. 

This  power  of  faith  has  been  lost  about  140  years ; this 
is  the  old  path  we  have  all  been  warned  to  search  for,  for 
where  there  is  no  faith  we  can  not  please  God. 

In  the  Old  Testament  God  gave  us  Abel,  Enoch,  Noah  and 
Abraham  as  examples  of  faith.  Abraham  believed  God, 
and  it  was  accounted  to  him  for  righteousness ; therefore 
he  did  all  that  God  told  him  to  do ; which  gives  us  a pattern 
to  show  that  faith  without  works  is  dead. 

Our  Lord  says,  Why  call  ye  me  Lord,  Lord,  and  do  not 
my  sayings?  He  that  saith  he  knoweth  Me  and  doeth  not 
my  sayings,  is  a liar  and  the  truth  is  not  in  him. 

But  how  can  a man  live  by  faith  when  this  is  the 
Father’s  season,  a time  of  Spiritual  darkness,  when  the 
land  is  barren  of  faith  and  the  truth  hidden  ? 

Why  do  we  say,  Lord,  Lord,  and  at  the  same  time  mind 
earthly  things?  Just  the  same  as  the  rich  men  or  the  big- 
gest infidel  in  the  world. 

How  can  a man  say,  he  is  born  of  the  Spirit  and  lives  by 
faith,  who  minds  earthly  things,  except  he  be  fast  asleep 
or  out  of  his  mind  ? Is  not  this  confusion  ?

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


By  faith,  Joseph,  who  was  sold  into  Egyptian  slavery, 
spoke  seventy  languages,  which  gave  him  power  to  be  chief 
ruler,  under  Pharaoh,  over  all  the  nation  of  Egypt  all  his 
life  (Book  of  Jasher)  ; a type  of  Christ,  who  will  rule  all 
nations  for  1000  years  on  this  earth. 

By  faith  Moses  and  Aaron  demonstrated  God’s  mighty 
power  over  all  flesh,  by  turning  his  rod  into  a serpent,  and 
by  making  his  rod  swallow  all  the  rods  of  Pharaoh ’s  magi- 
cians. 

Also  in  turning  water  into  blood  and  blood  into  water; 
and  causing  the  land  to  bring  forth  frogs  and  then  God 
exterminated  them  in  order  to  perform  more  miracles,  to 
teach  us  His  power  over  all  flesh. 

The  Lord  said  unto  Aaron  by  the  mouth  of  Moses,  to 
smite  the  dust  of  the  earth,  which  he  did  and  the  dust 
became  lice  on  man  and  on  beast ; this  the  magicians  could 
not  do. 

Then  the  magicians  said  unto  Pharaoh,  this  is  the  finger 
of  God:  but  Pharaoh’s  heart  was  hardened;  and  the  Lord 
sent  swarms  of  flies  by  the  hand  of  Moses  and  Aaron. 

And  again  God  sent  a murrain  among  the  cattle  of  the 
Egyptians  and  upon  all  their  sheep,  horses,  asses  and 
camels;  and  the  cattle  of  the  Egj^ptians  all  died  but  not 
one  of  the  cattle  of  the  children  of  Israel  died. 

Moses  took  ashes  and  sprinkled  it  towards  heaven  and 
it  became  boils  breaking  forth  with  blains  upon  man  and 
beast.  And  the  magicians  could  not  stand  before  Moses 
because  of  their  boils,  for  these  boils  were  upon  the  magi- 
cians and  upon  all  the  Egyptians : just  to  give  us  a type  of 
God’s  curses  soon  to  come  upon  us  all  who  mind  earthly 
things  (Philippians  3:18,19). 

Again  Moses  stretched  forth  his  rod  toward  heaven,  and 
the  Lord  sent  thunder  and  hail,  and  the  fire  ran  along  the 
ground  which  was  very  destructive.  There  was  never  any- 
thing like  it  before,  but  it  did  not  touch  the  land  of  Goshen 
where  the  children  of  Israel  dwelt. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

Then  Pharaoh  sent  for  Moses  and  Aaron  and  said  unto 
them,  I have  sinned  this  time,  the  Lord  is  righteous  and  I 
and  my  people  are  wicked. 

Dear  reader,  are  we  not  all  just  like  these  wicked  Egyp- 
tians today,  and  has  not  God  given  us  these  examples  for 
signs  to  teach  us  our  stubborn  hardheartedness  ? 

Have  our  religious  sects  today  all  over  the  world  any 
more  power  with  God  than  Pharaoh ’s  magicians  had  ? When 
Pharaoh  called  for  his  magicians  to  do  a miracle  equal  to 
the  miracles  of  Moses  and  Aaron  did  he  not  expect  to  see  it  ? 

And  the  God  of  all  power  set  these  examples  before  us  to 
teach  us  faith. 

TWO  KINDS  OF  WARS 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

There  are  two  kinds  of  warriors,  the  sinners  under  the 
natural  bondson  law,  who  say  an  eye  for  an  eye  and  a 
tooth  for  a tooth,  a hand  for  a hand  and  a foot  for  a foot 
(Deuteronomy  19  :21)  ; serve  in  the  wars  of  their  countries. 

The  earth  is  put  into  the  hands  of  the  wicked  (Job  9 :24), 
who  are  world  lovers,  money  hunters,  city  builders,  and 
will  fight  for  it  to  the  death,  according  to  the  law  made  for 
world  lovers. 

But  the  Levitical  priesthood,  which  is  a type  of  our 
Lord’s  followers,  were  under  the  covenant  or  law  made  for 
free  sons,  and  could  have  no  inheritance  on  the  earth, 
but  their  inheritance  was  wholly  in  God  (Numbers  18:20- 
24),  Therefore  they  were  all  exempt  from  war,  for  their 
duty  was  to  serve  in  the  tabernacle  (Numbers  Chap.  4). 

No  Christian  can  own  houses,  lands,  or  goods  after  he  is 
born  of  the  Spirit,  because  he  is  a new  creature:  old  things 
are  passed  away ; behold,  all  things  are  become  new 
(2  Corinthians  5:17). 

As  soon  as  the  new  birth  came  at  Pentecost,  about  8000 
souls,  all  with  one  accord  sold  houses,  lands  and  goods  and 


98 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


divided  it  up,  and  ate  it  up,  and  had  all  things  in  common 
(Acts  2 :44-47 ; Acts  4 :32-37) . 

Then  their  new  war,  a new  fight,  and  a good  fight,  called 
the  fight  of  faith  began ; the  law  of  good  and  evil,  which 
the  Father  has  set  before  us  to  hear  and  learn,  was  their 
preparation  to  bring  them  into  the  new  birth. 

Therefore  the  letter  killeth,  but  the  Spirit  giveth  life 
(2  Corinthians  3:6).  The  old  natural  sinful  man  in  them 
died  (Romans  6:6)  ; so  the  new  man  Christ  our  Lord  lived 
in  them  after  Pentecost. 

So  all  men  who  are  not  born  of  the  Spirit  of  God  are 
subject,  under  the  bondson-law,  to  go  to  war,  for  God  has 
made  both,  laws,  and  the  powers  that  be  are  ordained  of 
Him  on  both  lines. 

The  Spiritual  man  is  dead  to  all  visible  things,  his  life 
is  hid  with  Christ  in  God ; he  is  to  be  hated  of  all  men,  even 
by  his  Israelite  brethren  who  live  after  the  flesh,  because 
of  his  freedom. 

Because  God  has  made  it  so  in  His  types  and  shadows 
from  wicked  Cain  and  righteoeus  Abel  down  to  wicked 
Judas  Iscariot  and  righteous  John  the  Baptist:  the  one 
against  the  other. 

God  says  through  Paul,  Honor  the  kings,  governors  and 
rulers,  which  includes  presidents  and  all  inferior  officers; 
because  we  are  all  in  the  hands  of  the  same  Potter’s  power, 
Who  has  all  power  over  the  clay,  to  make  one  vessel  unto 
honor  and  another  unto  dishonor,  according  to  His  choice. 

So  we  are  commanded  to  speak  evil  of  no  man,  but  to 
love  one  another,  even  our  enemies;  if  they  smite  thee  on 
thy  right  cheek  turn  to  them  the  other  also  (Matthew  5 :39). 

This  is  not  a pleasant  thing  to  do,  and  is  scarcely  ever 
done  since  God’s  lambs  for  the  slaughter  were  all  martyred 
long,  long  ago;  but  the  power  of  love  in  the  new  bom 
Spiritual  babe  can  endure  all  things,  which  has  been  dem- 
onstrated or  proven  by  the  millions  who  were  made  perfect 
through  suffering  as  their  Captain  was  (Hebrews  2:10 
and  Revelations  7 :9,14). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


99 


But  God’s  season  is  here,  the  time  of  the  end  draweth 
nigh,  and  wars,  earthquakes,  famine  and  pestilences  shall 
invade  the  land ; peace  shall  be  declared,  but  God  says  there 
shall  be  no  peace.  I make  peace  and  I create  evil.  Shall 
there  be  evil  in  a city,  and  the  Lord  hath  not  done  it? 
(Amos  3 :6 ; Isaiah  45  :7) . 

Today  no  one  is  saved,  not  even  the  elect.  Our  Lord 
says,  except  those  days  of  tribulation  (called  the  siege)  be 
shortened,  there  should  no  flesh  be  saved : but  for  the  elect’s 
sake  those  days  shall  be  shortened  (Matthew  24:22). 

The  elect  are  His  remnant ; and  all  others  will  fight  and 
kill  until  the  cities  be  wasted  without  inhabitant  (Isaiah 
6 :11),  And  not  a man  left  to  till  the  ground. 

But  the  remnant,  who  are  God ’s  elect,  He  will  bring  them 
through  the  fire  as  soon  as  His  preparation  goes  forth  to 
wake  them  up  and  prove  them  as  gold  is  tried  in  the  fire ; 
and  this  they  will  glory  in,  hallelujah ! 

And  all  others  are  bastard-saints  who  love  their  lives, 
who  are  God’s  enemies  of  His  cross,  of  His  scourgings,  of 
His  way  of  perfecting  His  vessels  unto  honor  (read  Philip- 
pians  3 :18,  19). 


TWO  WAYS  TO  THINK 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 

AS  A MAN  THINKETH  SO  IS  HE. 

AS  A MAN’S  FAITH  IS  SO  BE  IT  UNTO  HIM 

God  was  over  4000  years  setting  before  us  His  two  lines 
of  good  and  evil  works,  and  no  man  can  choose  the  line  of 
good  works  from  the  evil  works  except  he  first  heard  and 
learned  them  (John  6:44). 

He  first  had  to  have  a mind  to  hear  it,  then  he  had  to 
have  energy  enough  to  make  his  mind  to  learn  it — before 
he  could  settle  in  his  mind  which  one  to  choose. 


100 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


As  a man  thinketh  so  is  he,  therefore  it  is  all  in  the  train- 
ing of  the  mind  that  opens  the  ear  to  hear  a thing  and  learn 
it  by  the  letter,  and  then  prove  it  by  practice. 

So  the  word  is  Spirit  and  Life  on  the  line  of  life,  and 
the  word  is  Spirit  and  Death  on  the  profane  unholy  evil 
line  of  death. 

It  is  written  seven  times:  He  that  hath  ears  to  hear  let 
him  hear.  We  all  have  ears  and  could  hear  if  we  had  been 
trained,  or  had  we  trained  our  own  mind  to  search  the  word. 

We  know  naturally  that  no  man  can  know  a thing  before 
he  has  proven  it,  which  sometimes  takes  a great  deal  of 
energy. 

And  this  will  give  us  leisure  of  time  to  use  our  minds, 
for  we  have  been  living  all  our  lives  as  bondsons  with  all 
the  world  in  blind  slavery  (Matthew  25:5,6),  without  a 
freeson  to  open  a man's  eyes. 

No  man  can  see  or  hear  when  Spiritually  asleep ; for  he 
is  Spiritually  deaf,  Spiritually  dumb  and  Spiritually 
blind ; so  this  makes  a man  a Spiritual  blind  fool  who  says 
he  can  see,  hear  and  talk  on  the  line  of  Spiritual  things. 

Therefore  we  have  the  frog  spirit,  which  jumps  at  a 
Spiritual  suggestion  and  concludes  it  is  all  right ; without  a 
foundation  whereby  to  investigate  it. 

God  says  try  the  spirits.  But  how  can  we  try  them  when 
asleep?  And  how  can  we  wake  up,  before  God's  season 
or  His  time?  And  how  can  we  know  when  His  time  has 
come  to  wake  us  up  ? 

He  says,  at  (Spiritual)  midnight  there  shall  be  a cry 
made ; so  you  must  make  up  your  mind  that  when  this  cry 
comes  it  will  be  written  on  tablets,  and  painted  in  a book. 

And  when  you  get  this  book  you  will  see,  if  you  have  any 
of  this  think-so  or  feel-so  religion,  it  is  not  the  kind  that 
the  martyred  saints  had  from  pentecost  down  to  about  1780 
A.  D. 

But  it  is  of  the  same  frog-spirit-mind  of  (Revelation  16: 
13,14)  ; which  killed  our  Lord  and  millions  of  saints  and 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


101 


will  help  kill  the  144,000  of  our  Lord's  servants  (Revelation 
7:2-8)  as  soon  as  they  are  perfected  and  sealed  (Revelation 
6:10,11). 

When  you  take  leisure  of  time,  after  you  have  heard  and 
learned  our  Lord's  midnight  cry  you  will  have  the  same 
experience  the  twelve  Apostles  had  and  also  the  seventy. 

The  writer  has  visited  Catacombs,  which  to  him  explains 
the  (12th  chapter  of  Revelations),  how  Jesus  Christ  fed 
them  and  nurtured  them  in  these  Catacombs,  called  wilder- 
ness, for  forty  two  months  or  three  years  and  a half ; away 
from  the  face  of  the  serpent,  this  frog  spirit. 

These  Catacombs  are  called  wilderness  and  were  all  made 
by  the  Word  of  God  in  every  land  where  the  heathen  dwelt, 
for  the  Lord  took  out  His  bride  from  among  all  nations  of 
the  earth. 

And  while  in  these  Catacombs  for  forty-two  months  He 
could  teach  them  how  to  live  on  the  word ; and  for  over  1600 
years  He  fed  and  nurtured  them;  which  is  the  antitype 
of  the  old  Mosaic  wilderness  life. 

For  where  there  are  no  types  and  shadows,  there  can  be 
no  antitypes  or  substance.  In  the  old  wilderness  life  of 
forty  years  we  can  see  how  easy  God  could  feed  a few  mil- 
lions of  people  without  man  or  the  arm  of  flesh. 

Therefore  He  says,  Cursed  be  the  man  that  trusteth  in 
man,  and  maketh  flesh  his  arm ; because  He  says,  The  flesh 
profiteth  nothing ; and  this  is  the  reason  why  He  says  prove 
all  things. 

Israel,  the  twelve  tribes,  bowed  down  to  the  golden  calf 
in  the  wilderness  and  refused  to  repent,  and  God  killed 
them  all  off  but  Caleb  and  Joshua  and  the  children  under 
twrenty  years  of  age. 

This  gives  us  a type  of  what  our  fore-fathers  did  who 
bowed  down  at  the  command  of  Pagan-Rome  and  made 
them  help  kill  our  Lord's  bride,  their  own  brethren. 

And  since  that  time  we  have  been  without  a Spiritual 
teacher  and  a Comforter,  therefore  we  read  how  He  has 
warned  us  all  to  wait  for  this  midnight  cry. 


102 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


And  behold  it  is  here,  so  read  it  and  learn  it  and  wake  up 
and  prove  it,  for  to  the  pure  all  things  will  be  pure  after  we 
wake  up  and  prove  up. 

Then  we  will  all  hear,  see,  think,  walk,  work  and  talk 
alike  for  our  tongues  will  not  be  set  on  fire  of  hell ; but  will 
be  set  on  fire  of  love  to  be  lambs  for  the  slaughter  according 
to  our  Lord  ’s  time  and  way. 

And  all  this  we  will  glory  in,  this  we  will  love  for  all  true 
Christians  hate  their  old  natural  life  to  the  death. 

Write  the  visions  and  make  them  plain.  So  see  to  it 
that  you  train  your  mind  to  get  this  strait-gate  and  narrow- 
road-power  which  has  been  lost  for  the  past  140  years. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  PROMISES 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 
MAN’S  KIND  AND  GOD’S  KIND 

Take  ten  thousand  articles  written  on  the  two  and  two, 
and  the  Spiritual  article  will  always’ have  the  pre-eminence 
over  the  natural  as  far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west. 

Tongue  cannot  describe  the  vast  difference  there  is  be- 
tween the  natural  broad  road  of  misery  and  death,  with 
hundreds  of  bewitched  blind  persuaders,  all  on  the  same 
road,  lending  a helping  hand  to  force  you  with  themselves 
into  Eternal  destruction,  all  in  blind  ignorance : and  the 
Spiritual  narrow  road  to  eternal  life. 

While  in  the  face  of  all  this,  we  have  God’s  word,  His 
sure  promises  which  cannot  fail,  written  on  two  lines;  viz. 
the  broad  road,  a type  of  death ; and  the  narrow  road,  a 
type  of  life. 

Many  years  have  passed  since  we  have  heard  much  said 
about  this  strait  gate  and  narrow  road ; because  of  our 
Lord’s  time  which  is  His  season  to  visit  us  with  His  jeal- 
ousy, to  fulfill  His  sure  promise  (Exodus  20:5). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


103 


All  these  years  have  passed  and  He  has  warned  us  to 
wait,  and  to  let  no  man  teach  us,  for  all  men  are  natural 
when  Spiritually  asleep  and  on  the  broad  road  to  death. 

And  no  natural  man’s  word  is  reliable  who  tries  to  lead, 
guide,  or  teach  Spiritual  things  to  his  brother ; who  needs 
be  woke  up  himself.  (Proof  Isaiah  56:10,11). 

No  wise  men  after  the  flesh  are  called,  only  by  blind 
leaders ; all  men  are  blind,  who  are  Spiritually  asleep,  and 
all  men  are  Spiritually  asleep  who 'mind  earthly  things; 
and  all  men  who  mind  earthly  things  are  enemies  of  the 
cross  of  our  Lord,  whose  end  is  death  and  destruction 
(Philippians  3:18,19). 

No  good  promises  are  left  on  record  for  them : 
no  place  in  the  kingdom  of  holy  priests  and  kings  for  them ; 
no  other  course  is  given  to  us  Israelites  since  pentecost, 
but  Hell  and  destruction  says  Peter  quoting  the  prophecy 
of  Moses  (Acts  3:22,23). 

And  these  articles  will  help  us  to  wake  up,  and  clean  up 
for  the  narrow-road  Pilgrimage  journey. 


TWO  KINDS  OF  RICHES 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 
PERISHABLE  AND  ETERNAL 

0 ! How  foolish  we  Israelites  have  all  been,  after  having 
much  warning  from  God  to  let  no  man  deceive  us  not  by 
any  means,  in  these  days  of  falling  away  (2nd  Thessalo- 
nians  2 :1-12) . Read  it. 

And  have  we  not  hired  men  that  never  knew  God,  to 
bewitch  us  so  that  we  should  not  obey  the  truth?  There- 
fore we  have  suffered  many  things  for  our  foolish  ignorance. 

Having  no  teachers  but  those  that  live  after  the  flesh, 
minding  earthly  things,  we  foolishly  hired  men  to  deceive 
ns  when  we  could  read  as  well  as  they.

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Is  it  not  written,  that  the  hireling  knoweth  not  his  mas- 
ter ’s  business  ? And  when  the  wolf  cometh  to  kill  his  mas- 
ter :s  lambs  he  fleeth  away? 

And  reading  all  this  and  much  more  (see  Isaiah  56:10, 
11),  we  have  allowed  ourselves  to  be  bewitched  by  money 
hunters,  until  the  land  has  become  barren  of  faith  and 
the  truth  hidden. 

All  that  this  world  can  think  about  for  six  days  in  the 
week,  and  talk  about,  even  on  their  sabbath  day,  is  money, 
money,  money,  which  is  the  substance,  of  the  root  of  all 
evil ; and  we  blasphemously  call  ourselves  Christians.  I 
was  guilty,  God  knows. 

Say,  brother,  can  there  be  a sin  on  earth,  with  the  one 
exception  of  sinning  against  the  Holy  Spirit  which  shall 
not  be  forgiven  unto  men  (Matthew  12:31),  that  is  equal 
to  the  root  of  all  evil?  And  can  there  be  any  wealth  on 
earth  equal  to  the  root  of  all  good  ? 

Has  not  God  set  before  us  two  lines  of  good  and  evil 
characters?  Is  it  not  written  that  He  giveth  to  them  that 
are  good  in  His  sight  wisdom,  knowledge  and  joy  and 
eternal  life  and  immortality  in  the  end  ? 

Did  He  not  say  to  the  sinner  that  He  would  give  travail 
(labor),  or  make  a money  hunter  out  of  him  on  the  line 
of  damnation? 

Dear  reader,  have  we  not  all  had  this  same  travail  to 
gather  and  heap  up  this  filthy  lucre  which  is  the  substance 
of  the  root  of  all  evil? 

But  listen,  and  hear  or  read  what  James  tells  us  about 
it.  He  says,  Go  to  now  ye  rich  men,  weep  and  howl  for 
the  misery  that  shall  come  upon  you. 

Your  riches  are  corrupted,  and  your  garments  are  moth 
eaten. 

Your  gold  and  your  silver  is  cankered;  and  the  rust  of 
them  shall  be  a witness  against  you,  and  shall  eat  your  flesh 
as  it  were  fire.  Ye  have  heaped  treasures  together  for  the 
last  days. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

Behold,  the  hire  of  the  laborers  who  have  reaped  down 
your  fields,  which  is  of  you  kept  back  by  fraud,  crieth : and 
the  cries  of  them  which  have  reaped  are  entered  into  the 
ears  of  the  Lord  of  Sabaoth. 

Ye  have  lived  in  pleasure  on  the  earth,  and  been  wanton ; 
ye  have  nourished  your  hearts,  as  in  the  day  of  slaughter. 

Ye  have  condemned  and  killed  the  just;  and  he  doth  not 
resist  you. 

Be  patient,  therefore,  brethren,  unto  the  coming  of  the 
Lord.  Behold,  the  husbandman  waiteth  for  the  precious 
fruit  of  the  earth,  and  hath  long  patience  for  it,  until  he 
receive  the  early  and  the  latter  rain. 

Be  ye  also  patient ; stablish  your  hearts : for  the  coming 
of  the  Lord  draweth  nigh  (James  5:1  to  8). 

Dear  brethren,  just  think  how  far  away  from  the  Lord  we 
have  drifted,  since  our  Lord’s  ministers,  who  were  a flame 
of  fire  were  killed. 

And  what  have  we  all  been  doing  ever  since,  but  gather- 
ing up  filthy  lucre,  which  is  all  vanity,  for  these  last  days. 

And  what  is  our  reward,  after  suffering  death  here  ; 
sometimes  of  days,  weeks  or  months  and  sometimes  years  of 
horrible  affliction.  And  then  we  die  sometimes  worse  than 
beasts,  because  of  sin. 

And  this  is  only  the  beginning  of  what  we  sinners  will 
have  to  endure  after  judgment  when  the  wicked  dead  are 
resurrected. 

For  then  they  will  have  to  endure  the  pangs  of  the  tor- 
ture of  the  second  death,  especially  if  they  have  taken  the 
mark  of  the  three  unclean  spirits  like  frogs  (Revelations 
16:13,  14). 

So,  dearly  beloved,  what  can  I say  to  help  you  to  wake 
up  and  investigate  the  matter,  and  forsake  the  old  perish- 
able works  of  vanity,  which  gives  nothing  but  two  deaths 
and  misery. 

And  learn  the  old  lost  and  hidden  paths  which  gives  us 
the  true  riches,  that  we  have  lost  since  we  have  hired  men 
to  bewitch  us  all  alike.

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


TWO  KINDS  OF  PERFECTION 
NATURAL  AND  SPIRITUAL 
THE  TYPE  AND  THE  ANTITYPE 

Noah  was  a just  man  and  perfect  in  his  generations 
(Genesis  6:9). 

All  sacrifices  of  peace  offerings  unto  the  Lord  to  accom- 
plish his  vow,  or  a free  will  offering  in  beeves  or  sheep,  shall 
be  perfect. 

There  was  a man  whose  name  was  J ob,  and  he  was  a per- 
fect man  in  his  generation  (Job  1:1).  A pattern  of  pa- 
tience. 

Behold,  God  will  not  cast  away  a perfect  man,  neither 
will  He  help  the  wicked  doers.  All  men  are  wicked  who 
mind  earthly  things.  Proof,  see  Philippians  3 :18,  19. 

Mark  the  perfect  man,  and  behold  the  upright : for  the 
end  of  that  man  is  peace  (Psalms  37  :37). 

The  path  of  the  just  is  as  the  shining  light,  that  shineth 
more  and  more  unto  the  perfect  day. 

Thou  wilt  give  him  perfect  peace,  whose  mind  is  stayed 
on  Thee:  because  he  trusteth  in  Thee  (Isaiah  26:3). 

THE  END  OF  TYPES  AND  SHADOWS.  AND  NOW 
COMES  THE  SUBSTANCE 

Jesus  Christ  says,  Be  ye  perfect  even  as  your  Father 
which  is  in  heaven  is  perfect  (Matthew  5 :48). 

Unto  the  rich  young  ruler,  who  claimed  that  he  kept  all 
the  commandments  that  the  Lord  mentioned,  Jesus  said, 
One  thing  thou  lackest ; if  thou  wilt  be  perfect,  go  and  sell 
that  thou  hast,  and  give  to  the  poor,  and  come  and  follow 
Me ; and  the  young  ruler  went  away  sorrowful  (Matthew 
19:21,  22). 

Jesus  said,  Father  sanctify  them  through  thy  truth : thy 
word  is  truth.  As  Thou  art  in  Me  and  I in  Thee,  that  they 
may  be  one  (made  perfect)  in  us  (John  17  :17,  23). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

Paul  said,  I beseech  you,  therefore,  brethren,  by  the  mer- 
cies of  God,  that  ye  present  your  bodies  a living  sacrifice, 
holy,  acceptable  unto  God,  which  is  your  reasonable  service. 

And  be  not  conformed  to  this  world:  but  be  ye  trans- 
formed by  the  renewing  of  your  mind,  that  ye  may  prove 
what  is  that  good  and  acceptable,  and  perfect  will  of  God 
(Romans  12  :1,  2). 

He  further  says,  that  God  gave  some,  apostles ; and  some, 
prophets;  and  some  pastors  and  teachers;  for  the  perfect- 
ing of  the  saints,  for  the  work  of  the  ministry,  for  the  edi- 
fying of  the  body  of  Christ : 

Till  we  all  come  to  the  unity  of  the  faith,  and  of  the 
knowledge  of  the  Son  of  God,  unto  the  measure  of  the 
stature  of  the  fullness  of  Christ  (Ephesians  4:11,  12,  13). 

Finally  brethren,  Farewell.  Be  perfect,  be  of  good  com- 
fort, be  of  one  mind,  live  in  peace ; and  the  God  of  love  and 
peace  will  be  with  you. 

Let  us  therefore,  as  many  as  be  perfect,  be  thus  minded : 
and  if  in  anything  ye  be  otherwise  minded,  God  shall  reveal 
even  this  unto  you.  Nevertheless,  whereto  we  have  already 
attained,  let  us  walk  by  the  same  rule,  let  us  mind  the 
same  thing  (Philippians  3 :15,  16). 

That  the  man  of  God  may  be  made  perfect  thoroughly 
furnished  unto  every  good  work  (2nd  Timothy  3:17). 

For  the  law  of  carnal  works  made  nothing  perfect  (He- 
brews 7:19).  Now  to  him  that  worketh  is  the  reward  not 
reckoned  of  grace,  but  of  debt.  But  to  him  that  worketh 
not,  but  believeth  on  Him  that  justifieth  the  ungodly,  his 
faith  is  counted  for  righteousness  (Romans  4:4,  5). 

Where  is  boasting  then?  It  is  excluded.  By  what  law? 
of  works?  Nay;  but  by  the  law  of  faith.  Therefore  we 
conclude  that  a man  is  justified  by  faith  without  the  deeds 
of  the  law.  Do  we  then  make  void  the  law  through  faith? 
God  forbid:  yea,  we  establish  the  law  (Romans  3:27,28,31). 

Paul  also  says,  May  the  God  of  peace,  make  you  perfect 
in  every  good  work  (holy  works  of  faith  under  the  law  of 
faith,  Hebrews  13  :21 ; Romans  3 :27,  28). 


108 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


James  says,  let  patience  have  her  perfect  work,  that  ye 
be  perfect  and  entire,  wanting  nothing.  If  ye  fulfill  the 
royal  law  according  to  the  Scripture,  Thou  shalt  love  thy 
neighbor  as  thyself,  ye  do  well:  but  if  ye  have  respect  to 
persons,  ye  commit  sin  (James  1:4). 

Therefore  no  man  can  fulfill  that  law  and  own  houses 
and  lands  and  goods,  but  a perfect  man  who  owns  no 
earthly  treasure,  and  has  received  the  new  birth  of  Spirit 
and  Fire,  he  is  a perfect  saint,  he  cannot  sin,  he  can  have 
all  things  in  common  as  the  Pentecost  saints  had  (Acts 
2:44);  and  he  can  love  his  neighbor  as  himself,  but  no 
other. 

Herein  is  our  love  made  perfect  that  we  may  have  bold- 
ness in  the  day  of  judgment,  because  as  He  is  so  are  we  in 
this  world. 

Therefore  He  is  our  perfect  example ; and  we  must  be  as 
holy  as  He  is  and  as  perfect  as  He  and  our  Father  in 
heaven  is  perfect  (Matthew  5:48). 

This  PERFECTION  is  the  strait  gate  into  the  narrow 
road ; this  perfection  is  the  pearl  of  great  price ; this  per- 
fection is  the  old  lost  hidden  preparation  that  we  have 
been  warned  to  search  for,  which  is  the  key  into  this  strait 
gate  and  narrow  road. 

And  this  midnight  cry  will  wake  us  up,  and  when  woke 
up,  we  preachers  will  be  surprised  with  amazement  to  see 
that  we  have  been  only  Spiritual  somnambulists  walking 
and  talking  in  our  sleep,  all  deaf,  dumb,  blind  and  asleep 
Spiritually. 

Then  truthfully  we  will  say,  ignorance  hath  no  charms 
and  sin  hath  no  immortality. 

THE  WORKS  OF  A PERFECT  MAN 

A perfect  man  is  a worker  with  Jesus  Christ  (2nd  Cor- 
inthians 6 :1),  he  is  bought  with  a price,  he  is  not  his  own. 
He  is  a living  sacrifice,  a whole  burnt  offering,  he  is  a lamb 
for  the  slaughter,  meet  for  the  Master’s  use  (Luke  10:1 
to  12). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


109 


As  Christ  was  three  and  a half  years  on  this  earth,  not 
having  a place  to  lay  His  head,  so  also  is  he  (Luke  14:33). 
Millions  of  His  followers  were  as  perfect,  even  as  He  is 
perfect  (Matthew  5:48). 

For  Christ  is  all,  all  in  all  to  a perfect  man,  they  all 
lived  alike  by  faith,  in  the  words  of  Christ,  who  hath  all 
power  over  all  flesh. 

They  all  lived  in  the  antitype  of  the  old  Mosaic  wilder- 
ness life,  who  could  make  no  provision  for  the  flesh ; whose 
clothing  never  waxed  old  for  forty  years ; who  drank  water 
out  of  a rock,  which  rock  was  Christ. 

A perfect  saint’s  work  is  holy  faith  works,  for  he  lives 
by  the  law  of  faith  (Romans  3:27,  28).  He  is  a new 
creature,  old  things  have  all  passed  away  and  all  things 
have  become  new  (2nd  Corinthians  5:17). 

When  that  thing  which  is  perfect  is  come,  then  that 
which  is  in  part  shall  be  done  away.  This  thing  which  is 
in  part,  is  the  old  natural  Schoolmaster  of  types  and  shad- 
ows, which  is  our  heavenly  Father’s  preparation  to  bring 
us  to  Christ  (Galatians  3:24). 

They  were  like  Job,  perfect  in  patience;  therefore  they 
were  perfect  like  their  Lord,  when  tempted  they  never 
opened  their  mouths  (yield  not  to  temptation  for  yielding  is 
sin)  ; and  he  that  sinneth  is  a child  of  the  devil  (1st 
John  3 :8). 

But  no  perfect  man  can  sin,  for  when  the  Holy  Spirit 
comes  into  a man  he  has  the  new  birth,  then  he  cannot  sin 
(1st  John  3 :9). 

Then  he  cannot  be  sick,  then  he  cannot  starve ; God  fed 
a few  million  of  Israelites  in  the  wilderness  for  forty  years 
and  not  one  ever  starved. 

The  Father  fed  the  whole  tribe  of  Levi  from  the  time 
they  entered  into  the  wilderness  to  the  time  of  John 
the  Baptist,  and  they  never  starved. 

Jesus  Christ,  the  antitype  of  all  this  eating,  fed  all  of 
His  followers,  an  innumerable  multitude,  for  over  1700 


110  MIDNIGHT  CRY 

years;  and  not  one  ever  starved,  or  ever  saw  death 
(John  8 :51). 

All  the  Father's  works  are  perfect  and  all  of  His  Son's 
works  are  perfect;  therefore,  except  the  Lord  builds  the 
house  they  labor  in  vain  that  build  it. 

Therefore  the  Father's  preparation  is  perfect,  and  when 
the  sinner  hears  and  learns  it,  it  cleanses,  purifies  and  makes 
him  white  (Daniel  12:10). 

The  Father  then  sends  him  to  His  Son,  Jesus  Christ,  a 
living  sacrifice,  holy,  acceptable,  to  be  no  more  conformed 
to  this  world. 

Peter  says,  every  one  purifies  his  soul  by  obeying  the 
truth. 

OBEDIENCE  IS  BETTER  THAN  SACRIFICE 

TWO  KINDS  OF  DESTINATIONS 
A KINGDOM  OF  GLORY  AND 
A LAKE  OF  FIRE  AND  BRIMSTONE 

It  is  not  all  of  man  to  live,  neither  is  it  all  of  man  to  die, 
and  especially  a sinner  who  dies  and  goes  to  hell,  and  then 
what? 

The  word  “hell"  means  the  grave,  and  all  sinners  wake 
up  naked  before  God,  to  be  cast  alive  into  a lake  of  fire  and 
brimstone  to  be  destroyed  according  to  their  wicked  deeds. 

This  is  the  second  death,  and  ten  thousand  times  worse 
than  hell,  the  grave  ; which  many  people  make  so  much 
ado  about. 

All  men  are  sinners  who  mind  earthly  things,  so  Paul 
says,  because  they  hate  the  cross  of  Christ,  they  would 
rather  kill  than  be  killed. 

They  lean  on  the  arm  of  flesh,  they  trust  in  man  for  work 
and  money  to  feed  their  belly-god,  whose  end  is  this  lake  of 
fire,  which  will  destroy  us  all  who  fail  to  wake  up. 

If  Paul  was  here  today  he  would  weep  over  us  all  who 


MIDNIGHT  CRY  111 

mind  earthly  things,  and  yet  they  killed  Paul,  they  cut  off 
his  head  and  millions  of  others  for  doing  likewise. 

And  now  since  our  Lord ’s  tarrying,  to  the  fourth  genera- 
tion, is  coming  to  an  end,  and  His  Midnight  Cry  has  come 
to  wake  us  up,  you  will  soon  see  the  wolves  thirsting  for 
blood  more  fiercely  than  ever. 

Read  what  Paul  says  about  our  religion,  and  it  is 
no  lie  ; see  2nd  Timothy  3 :1  to  5,  read  it  seven  times  and 
get  all  the  good  out  of  it;  yes,  if  we  could  think  and  con- 
sider for  a moment  how  we  have  been  schooled  by  blind 
educated  men,  and  cradled  to  sleep ; 

We  would  rest  neither  day  nor  night  until  we  would 
have  the  Father’s  preparation  to  wake  us  up,  that  we 
might  inherit  eternal  life,  instead  of  going  into  a lake  of 
fire  called  the  second  death  to  be  destroyed  eternally. 

Because  cursed  be  the  man  who  trusteth  in  man,  when  it 
is  written  that  the  gold  and  silver  and  the  cattle  on  a thou- 
sand hills  are  mine,  saith  the  Lord. 

And  the  earth  and  the  fullness  thereof  is  mine,  and  all 
power  is  mine  in  heaven  and  earth,  and  all  power  is  mine 
over  all  flesh;  therefore  I command  thee,  if  thou  lackest 
anything  ask  of  me  and  I will  supply  all  your  needs. 

Go  wash  you,  make  you  clean ; go  sell  what  thou  hast  and 
give  to  the  poor,  and  be  clean ; for  blessed  are  ye  poor  and 
woe  unto  you  rich.  For  the  poor  receive  me  gladly  after 
they  wake  up,  but  the  rich  I send  away  empty  (Luke  1 :53). 

For  whosoever  there  be  among  you  that  forsaketh  not  all 
that  he  hath  he  cannot  be  my  disciple  (Luke  14:33).  This 
doctrine  has  not  been  taught  since  martyrdom  ceased  about 
140  years  ago. 

And  Satan  is  today  living  in  our  temples  which  should 
be  clean  and  holy  for  our  Lord ; wholly  cut  loose  from  the 
worldly  things  which  bind  us,  as  a little  new  born  babe  is 
cut  loose  from  its  mother ; 

But  instead,  our  house  (bodies)  which  should  be  God’s 
temple,  we  have  made  into  a den  for  money  changers  who 


112  MIDNIGHT  CEY 

buy,  sell,  trade  and  traffic  for  gain ; a den  for  thieves  and 
robbers. 

And  with  all  this  wicked  filthy  lucre  traffic  in  us,  we  have 
over  two  hundred  man-made  disciplines,  and  call  ourselves 
Christ-like,  and  have  millions  of  followers ; 

And  as  far  as  coveteousness,  which  is  greed  for  gain,  is 
concerned,  we  have  all  been  nurtured  in  school,  and  out  of 
school,  in  church  and  out  of  church,  at  home  and  abroad,  on 
land  and  on  sea  alike. 

All  on  the  broad  road,  deaf,  dumb,  blind  and  asleep 
Spiritually,  with  a think-so  or  feel-so  religion  under  strong 
God-sent  delusions,  believing  a lie,  to  be  engulfed  in  a lake 
of  fire  and  brimstone  in  the  end. 

And  it  is  reasonable  enough  to  see,  when  we  read  up  and 
wake  up  and  know  that  God  has  warned  us  of  this  season ; 
that  this  is  a time  of  sleeping,  a time  of  falling  away,  and 
a time  of  Spiritual  darkness. 

Also  a season  of  a famine  of  the  hearing  of  the  word  of 
the  Lord  (Amos  8:11,  12)  when  men  shall  be  deceived  in 
great  numbers,  when  the  land  shall  be  barren  of  faith,  and 
truth  shall  be  hidden. 

So  our  strong  God  sent  delusions  have  all  come  upon  us 
for  this  one  reason,  viz.,  because  we  took  no  pleasure  in  the 
word  of  warning,  which  is  the  word  of  truth ; 

Which  says,  now  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  by  the  com- 
ing of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  by  our  gathering  to- 
gether unto  Him,  that  ye  be  not  soon  shaken  in  mind,  or  be 
troubled,  neither  by  spirit,  nor  by  word  as  from  us,  as  that 
the  day  of  Christ  is  at  hand. 

Let  no  man  deceive  you  by  any  means : (but  alas,  alas,  see 
what  we  have  done)  ; for  that  day  shall  not  come  except 
there  come  a falling  away  first,  and  that  man  of  sin  be  re- 
vealed, the  son  of  perdition  (2nd  Thessalonians  2:1  to  12)  ; 
who  is  he?  Has  this  man  of  sin  ever  been  revealed  to 
any  one  yet  ? 

Can  a double-minded  man  who  minds  earthly  things  see 
before  he  is  woke  up?  Therefore  get  the  Midnight  Cry 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


113 


and  help  others  to  get  it ; it  will  clean  your  house,  for  it  is 
the  word  written  on  two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters. 

The  Word  is  sharp,  it  will  cut  you  loose  from  the  unholy 
broad  road  to  a lake  of  fire  and  destruction ; and  give  you 
the  pearl  of  great  price,  which  is  the  key  to  the  Strait  Gate 
and  Narrow  Road  to  life  and  immortality.  What  better 
can  we  ask  for  ? 

Therefore  let  us  see  to  it,  for  we  are  today  all  sinners 
alike,  slumbering  and  sleeping  all  alike,  deceived  and  being 
deceived  all  alike ; 

But  the  Midnight  Cry  will  wake  us  all  alike,  and  we 
will  wash  up  and  clean  up  and  dress  up  and  the  Father  will 
send  us  to  His  Son  Jesus  Christ  all  alike  (John  6:44). 

And  He  will  baptise  us  with  Spirit  and  Fire  and  come 
into  us  and  teach  us  all  alike,  and  we  will  shine  as  the  stars 
of  heaven  forever  and  ever. 


ONE  HOUR  IN  THE  LAKE  OF  FIRE 

If  one  could  be  rescued  and  healed  after  spending  one 
hour  in  the  lake  of  fire  he  certainly  would  never  forget  it. 

One  hour  is  only  a part  of  God’s  time  for  millions  of 
souls  who  have  died  and  who  will  die  in  the  near  future, 
who  will  have  to  weep  and  wail  and  gnash  their  teeth  ; 

And  cry  for  a drop  of  water  to  cool  their  parched  tongue, 
but  the  powers  that  be  will  refuse  them ; and  it  is  awful ! 
awful ! ! awful ! ! ! to  think  of  it. 

And  why  is  it,  why  is  it  man  will  sacrifice  all  his  soul ’s  , 
energy,  and  all  his  time  and  talent  for  filthy  lucre,  to  sat- 
isfy the  god  of  his  belly ; which  is  all  vanity  and  vexation 
of  spirit  ? only  to  get  in  return  the  second  death  in  the  lake 
of  fire  with  the  devil  and  his  angels.

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Say,  Behold,  Read  up,  and  wake  up,  for  we  have  slept 
long  enough ; and  stop  and  take  a little  rest  and  think  about 
it.  For  it  is  so  horrible,  it  is  almost  an  incomprehensible, 
unfathomable  problem  to  solve. 

But  who  dares  to  blame  our  Creator  when  He  has  so 
kindly  set  before  us,  good  and  evil,  life  and  death,  a bless- 
ing and  a cursing,  under  two  lines,  viz.,  the  law  of  slavery 
made  for  bondson  filthy-lucre-whoring  sinners,  money  hunt- 
ers (1st  Timothy  1:9-10)  ; 

And  the  law  of  faith  made  for  free-sons,  called  sons  of 
God  (Romans  8:14):  who  are  judges  (1st  Corinthians 
2:15)  and  to  be  made  kings  and  priests  (Revelation  1:6)  ; 
who  are  workers  with  our  Lord  in  this  life,  whose  income  is 
one  hundred  times  more  than  he  can  earn  by  hard  work 
with  travail ; for  God  giveth  to  all  men  the  desire  of  their 
hearts,  for  He  knoweth  the  hearts  and  minds  of  all  men. 

But,  but,  here  we  linger  trying  to  serve  God  and  Mam- 
mon (money)  the  love  of  which  is  the  root  of  all  evil,  the 
very  root  that  causes  us  to  weep  and  wail  and  gnash  our 
teeth  day  and  night  according  to  our  deeds. 

And  Oh  dear  brother,  can  we  find  fault  with  a merciful 
God  when  we  stop  and  think  how  mean  we  have  been  for  not 
quitting  worldly  vanity,  and  putting  on  our  Lord’s  yoke 
and  proving  it  ? 

For  He  says,  “My  yoke  is  easy  and  my  burden  is  light.” 

But  apparently  we  would  rather  burn  in  the  lake  of  fire 
and  brimstone  than  to  prove  His  word,  and  the  only  way 
to  know  a thing  is  by  practicing  it. 

Prove  all  things;  hold  fast  that  which  is  good  (1st 
Thessalonians  5 :21) . 

This  is  our  time  and  God  has  given  us  this  life  and  His 
old  Covenant  for  the  natural  man,  called  our  schoolmaster, 
to  bring  us  to  Christ  for  our  perfection  in  love,  truth  and 
mercy  to  make  us  like  unto  himself.

ONLY  ONE  KIND  OF  SPIRITUAL  PEOPLE 
ON  EARTH  TODAY, 

AND  OUR  LORD  SAYS,  THEY  ARE 
ALL  SPIRITUALLY  ASLEEP 
MATTHEW  25:5,  6 

We  find  only  one  class  of  Spiritual  people  today,  and 
they  are  all  Spiritually  asleep,  blind  and  ignorant  of  the 
fact;  they  all  seek  their  salvation  from  a mourner’s  bench, 
or  an  anxious  seat,  or  a dip  or  a pouring  of  water  under 
the  law  of  types  and  shadows,  or  seeking  for  the  spirits, 
which  gives  them  a feeling  or  a think-so  religion. 

All  religion  on  the  earth  today  is  man-made,  and  not  one 
ever  came  from  the  Father,  so  Christ  said  in  John  6:37, 
39,  40,  44,  and  65 ; read  them  all  and  wake  up ; for  no  man 
can  prove  a thing  when  Spiritually  blind. 

Pure  and  undefiled  religion  is  to  do  what  Christ  said  to 
His  disciples,  leave  your  nets  (which  is  our  manner  of  earn- 
ing our  temporal  living)  and  come  and  follow  Me,  and 
straightway  they  went. 

Come  unto  Me  all  ye  that  labor  and  are  heavy  laden  and 
I will  give  you  rest ; go  sell  that  thou  hast  and  give  to  the 
poor,  and  come  and  follow  Me  and  I will  give  it  all  back  to 
you,  good  measure  pressed  down  and  shaken  together  and 
running  over,  shall  men  give  into  your  bosom  (Matthew 
19  :21 ; Luke  6 :38).  For  all  power  is  mine  over  all  flesh. 

There  are  over  200  man-made  religions  and  none  of 
them  practicing  what  our  Lord  says,  or  the  prophets  say 
thou  shalt  do,  or  thou  shalt  not  do : we  have  listened  to 
man  and  do  just  the  opposite  to  what  our  Lord  says 
(Matthew  6 :24  to  34) .

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Our  Lord  came  to  destroy  the  works  of  the  devil;  who 
is  the  cause  of  man,  the  sinner,  the  bondson  slave,  called 
the  wicked  husbandman,  to  have  to  eat  his  bread  in  sweat 
and  sorrow. 

But  when  our  Lord  came  with  His  New  Covenant  of  love, 
He  says,  Come  unto  Me  all  ye  that  labor  and  are  heavy 
laden  and  I will  give  you  rest  (Matthew  11:28). 

Labor  not  for  the  meat  which  perisheth  but  for  that 
meat  which  endureth  unto  Everlasting  life  (John  6:27). 
This  people  shall  shine  as  the  stars  of  heaven  for  ever  and 

ever. 

But  who  believes  it  today?  Do  not  all  who  call  them- 
selves believers  today  get  man’s  blind  idea?  And  how 
can  they  have  any  other,  before  they  hear  and  learn  this 
Father’s  preparation  and  wake  up?  for  no  man  can  see 
in  the  dark  when  asleep. 

And  this  is  the  reason  that  the  present  day  religions, 
which  have  many  names,  are  all  of  the  same  kind,  all  blind 
to  the  fact  that  we  desire  to  help  our  Lord  to  prepare  food 
and  raiment  to  supply  our  needs.  (Read  Luke  10:1  to  12). 

Much  of  these  man-made  religions  come  from  seeking 
spirits,  all  outside  of  our  Lord’s  New  Testament  Covenant, 
which  are  spirits  of  devils;  so  God  says  (see  Revelation 
16:14). 

But  the  old  pentecost  religion  is  not  to  be  found  since 
the  wicked  bondson  professors  or  religion,  even  our  own 
forefathers,  helped  to  kill  the  first  and  last  saint.  And  God 
will  make  this  same  wicked  frog-like  spirit  help  kill  us,  or 
be  killed. 

But  what  advantage  will  it  be  to  me  if  I help  to  kill  a 
thousand  men,  and  will  then  shortly  be  killed  myself?  for 
it  is  written,  that  the  Lord  will  soon  empty  the  cities  and 
the  earth  left  without  inhabitants  and  not  a man  left  to  till 
the  ground  (Zephaniah  3:6).

ONLY  ONE  KIND  OF  MERCHANTS 
THEY  ARE  ALL  NATURAL  SINNERS 

All  men  who  buy,  sell,  trade  and  traffic  for  gain  are 
merchants  and  lovers  of  this  world;  all  hirelings,  as  well 
as  the  merchants,  are  called  wicked  husbandmen  by  our 
Lord  (Matthew  21 :33  to  41) . 

It  is  written,  cursed  be  the  man  that  trusteth  in  man  and 
maketh  flesh  his  arm ; his  end  is  destruction,  his  god  is  his 
belly;  and  he  is  blind  and  asleep  to  the  fact  and  needs  to 
be  woke  up  to  see  his  horrible  fall  from  the  light. 

It  is  also  written,  the  merchant  that  occupieth  his  mer- 
chandise with  robbery,  the  more  they  deck  their  cities,  their 
houses,  their  possessions,  and  their  own  persons : The  more 
will  I be  angry  with  them  for  their  sin,  saith  the  Lord. 
(2nd  Esdras  16:47,  48,  Apocrypha). 

A merchant  shall  hardly  keep  from  doing  wrong;  and 
an  huckster  (retailer)  shall  not  be  freed  from  sin.  Many 
have  sinned  for  a small  matter : and  he  that  seeketh  for 
abundance  will  turn  his  eyes  away. 

As  a nail  sticketh  fast  between  the  joinings  of  the  stones, 
so  doth  sin  stick  between  buying  and  selling  (Ecclesiasticus 
27  :2  Apocrypha). 

He  that  hath  given  forth  upon  usury  and  hath  taken  in- 
crease ; shall  he  then  live  ? He  shall  not  live : he  shall 
surely  die  (Ezekiel  18:13). 

Moreover  the  words  of  the  Lord  came  to  Ezekiel  saying, 
the  city  sheddeth  blood,  and  thou  are  become  guilty, 
thou  hast  defiled  thyself,  therefore  have  I made  thee  a re- 
proach unto  the  heathen,  and  a mocking  to  all  countries. 

Behold,  the  princes  of  Israel,  every  one  were  in  thee  to 
their  power  to  shed  blood,  in  thee  are  men  that  carry  tales, 
they  commit  lewdness,  thou  hast  despised  mine  holy  things 
and  hast  profaned  my  sabbaths. 

In  thee  have  they  taken  gifts  to  shed  blood,  thou  hast 
taken  usury  and  increase,  thou  hast  greedily  gained  of  thy 


118 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


neighbor  by  extortion,  and  have  forgotten  me,  saith  the 
Lord.  Therefore  have  I smitten  my  hands  at  thy  dishon- 
est gain,  and  I will  consume  thy  filthiness  out  of  thee. 

And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me  saying, 
Son  of  man,  the  house  of  Israel  is  to  Me  become  dross : All 
they  are  brass,  and  tin,  and  iron,  and  lead,  in  the  midst  of 
the  furnace ; they  are  even  the  dross  of  the  silver,  this  is  the 
wicked  husbandman  of  this  day. 

Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  God : Because  ye  are  all 
become  dross,  behold  I will  gather  you  into  the  midst  of 
Jerusalem  as  they  gather  silver  and  brass  and  iron  and 
lead,  and  tin,  into  the  midst  of  the  furnace  to  blow  the  fire 
upon  it  to  melt  it ; 

So  will  I gather  you  in  mine  anger  and  in  my  fury,  and 
1 will  leave  you  there  and  melt  you ; Yea,  I will  gather  you, 
and  blow  upon  you  in  the  fire  of  my  wrath  and  ye  shall  be 
melted. 

And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me  saying,  son  of 
man,  say  unto  her,  thou  art  the  land  that  is  not  cleansed, 
nor  rained  upon  in  the  day  of  indignation. 

There  is  a conspiracy  of  her  prophets  in  the  midst 
thereof,  like  a roaring  lion  ravening  the  prey,  they  have 
devoured  souls ; they  have  made  widows,  they  have  put  no 
difference  between  the  clean  and  the  unclean. 

Her  princes  in  the  midst  thereof  are  raveniifg  wolves, 
they  shed  blood  to  get  dishonest  gain.  And  her  prophets 
have  daubed  them  with  untempered  mortar,  seeing  vanity, 
and  divining  lies  unto  them,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  when  the  Lord  hath  not  spoken. 

And  I sought  for  a man  among  them  that  should  make 
up  the  hedge,  and  stand  in  the  gap,  before  Me  for  the  land 
that  I should  not  destroy  it : but  I found  none. 

Therefore  have  I poured  out  mine  indignation  upon 
them  I have  consumed  them  with  the  fire  of  my  wrath : 
their  own  way  have  I recompensed  upon  their  own  heads, 
saith  the  Lord  (Ezekiel  22nd  chap.). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


119 


This  is  the  condition  our  world  is  in  today,  this  is  a type 
of  the  wicked  husbandman  which  our  Lord  says  He  will 
miserably  destroy  when  He  comes.  This  prophet  has  made 
it  very  plain  what  the  antitype  is,  sure  and  certain,  for  we 
are  truly  guilty  of  all  he  says. 

So  God’s  wise  man  tells  us  the  thing  that  hath  been,  it 
is  that  which  shall  be ; and  that  which  is  done  is  that  which 
shall  be  done : and  there  is  no  new  thing  under  the  sun 
(Ecclesiastes  1:9).  So  this  is  the  new,  the  antitype  of  the 
old. 

For  that  which  hath  been  is  now ; and  that  which  is  to  be, 
hath  already  been ; and  God  requireth  that  which  is  past. 

Moreover  I saw  under  the  sun  the  place  of  judgment, 
that  wickedness  was  there ; and  the  place  of  righteousness, 
and  iniquity  was  there.  I said  in  my  heart  concerning  the 
estate  of  men,  that  God  might  manifest  them,  and  that  they 
themselves  are  beasts  (Ecclesiastes  chap.  3). 

Truly,  truly  we  are  drifting  down  the  stream  of  death 
and  destruction.  As  it  was  in  the  days  of  Noah,  and  in  the 
days  of  Sodom,  having  no  fear  of  God  before  our  eyes,  so 
shall  it  be  in  the  days  of  the  Son  of  man  (Luke  18  :26,  27). 


THE  SPIRITUAL  CONDITION 
OF  THE  WORLD  TODAY; 

ITS  CAUSE  AND  EFFECT  IN  BRIEF 

The  Spiritual  condition  of  the  w^orld  today  is  prophetical 
blindness  (Isaiah  56:10,  11).  A season  of  slumbering  and 
sleeping,  and  this  causes  Spiritual  darkness,  which  has  no 
light  at  all,  and  makes  us  all  infidels  alike,  having  no  legal 
right  to  judge  any  man. 

While  the  Bridegroom  tarried  they  all  slumbered  and 
slept,  and  we  ought  to  know  that  He  has  not  come  yet.  And 
if  He  would  come  now  for  His  Bride  and  his  servants,  He 
certainly  would  find  us  without  having  on  the  wedding 
garment. 


120 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


But  on  the  contrary,  a mess  of  all  kinds  of  naked  sinners, 
all  Spiritually  slumbering  and  sleeping.  For  the  natural 
man  is  supposed  to  be  asleep  at  midnight. 

Therefore  this  is  God’s  prophetical  Midnight  Cry  which 
He  has  warned  us  all  to  wait  for.  Therefore  the  prophet 
says  to  you  and  me ; woe  unto  the  man  who  desires  the  day 
of  the  Lord : to  what  end  is  it  for  you  ? Shall  not  the  day 
of  the  Lord  be  darkness,  and  no  light  in  it  at  all?  (Amos 
5:18,  20.) 

Is  it  not  written,  that  these  signs  shall  follow  them  that 
believe?  You  ask,  what  signs?  Ans.  Heal  the  sick,  raise 
the  dead,  cast  out  devils,  restore  sight  to  the  blind,  cleanse 
the  lepers,  and  do  all  the  works  our  Lord  did  and  still 
greater  works. 

These  works  the  Pentecost  Saints  did,  and  they  said  that 
these  signs  followed  (Mark  16  :17  ; Acts  2 :42,  47). 

So  dear  reader,  when  you  see  a people  that  can  do  all 
these  things,  then  you  will  see  sinless  saints,  made  perfect. 
Then  we  will  also  see  fierce  wolves  (in  human  form)  in 
sheep ’s  clothing  devouring  the  lambs  among  them. 

Then  we  will  see  our  own  flesh  and  blood  taking  the  mark 
of  the  beast,  and  lend  a helping  hand  to  kill,  as  our  fore- 
fathers helped  kill  the  Lord’s  Bride;  then  they  will  kill 
this  little  company  of  144,000  Israelites,  just  as  they  killed 
the  Bride  (Revelation  6:11). 

But  before  this  can  take  place  we  have  to  hear  and  learn 
to  come  out  and  not  take  the  mark  of  the  beast  or  die.  But 
all  those  who  will  get  this  Midnight  Cry,  and  hear  it  and 
learn  it,  will  wake  up  and  choose  life,  and  our  Lord  says  He 
will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day ; 

For  when  God  pours  out  His  seven  vials  of  wrath  upon 
the  people  it  will  be  upon  them  who  never  woke  up  out  of 
their  blind  Spiritual  sleeping  and  fallen  away  condition, 
and  He  says,  they  will  not  repent  (Revelation  16  :8,  9). 

But  those  who  do  wake  up  and  make  the  sacrifice  to  live 
for  Christ  only,  the  Lord  accepts  his  sacrifice,  because  His 
Father’s  Schoolmaster,  the  law  of  good  and  evil,  has 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


121 


opened  his  eyes  to  see  and  leave  the  broad  profane  line  of 
death,  and  to  choose  the  holy  clean  line  of  life. 

Then  the  Father  sends  him  to  His  Son,  because  he  has 
washed  himself  by  the  word  and  is  clean;  his  house  is 
swept  and  garnished,  he  opens  the  door  for  the  reception  of 
his  new  Guest,  the  Lamb  of  God,  to  come  in,  Who  forgiv- 
eth  all  our  iniquity,  this  is  the  baptism  of  the  Holy  Spirit 
and  Fire. 

This  is  the  new  birth,  old  things  all  pass  away,  and  all 
things  become  new.  He  has  sacrificed  the  old  nature  for 
the  new,  the  perishable  for  the  Eternal,  to  be  a judge  in 
place  of  being  judged  (1st  Corinthians  2:15). 

He  is  also  given  a new  head  and  a new  mind  to  prove 
what  is  that  good,  and  acceptable,  and  perfect  will  of  God 
(Romans  12  :1,  2). 

He  then  has  a new  mouth,  and  a new  tongue,  a tongue 
set  on  fire  of  love,  instead  of  a mind,  and  a mouth,  and  a 
tongue  talking  when  sound  asleep. 

Just  stop  and  think  of  a somnambulist  (a  sleep 
walker)  walking  and  talking  in  his  sleep,  trying  to  get  men 
into  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

It  is  written,  Let  your  light  so  shine  that  they  may  see 
your  good  works  and  glorify  your  Father  which  is  in 
heaven. 

But  how  can  we  have  light  when  it  is  a prophetical  day 
of  Spiritual  darkness,  and  we  are  asleep  and  blind. 

Millions  of  educated  professing  believers  have  traveled 
over  land  and  sea  with  hundreds  of  man-made  disciplines, 
all  walking  and  talking  in  their  sleep  (see  Isaiah  56  :10,  11) . 

Millions  of  dollars  have  been  spent  to  build  sectarian  col- 
leges and  churches  for  the  spread  of  over  200  different  man- 
made doctrines  by  somnambulists  having  the  frog  spirit 
(Revelation  16:13,  14). 

Just  think  of  a blind  man  trying  to  open  the  eyes  of  a 
blind  man,  when  God  warned  us  to  wait  for  His  Midnight 
Cry  and  to  allow  no  man  to  deceive  us  by  any  means. 

Has  He  not  declared  that  this  Christ  should  not  come, 


122 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


except  this  falling  away  come  first,  and  that  man  of  sin  be 
revealed,  the  son  of  perdition  ? 

And  because  we  have  failed  to  take  pleasure  in  His  word 
which  is  truth,  He  has  sent  us  strong  delusions  that  we 
might  believe  a lie  and  all  be  damned  (2nd  Thessalonians 
2:1  to  12). 

It  is  not  too  much  for  us  to  believe  that  we  who  think  we 
see,  are  blind  Spiritually,  walking  and  talking  in  our  sleep. 

Brother,  let  us  hear  God  prove  it,  for  He  says,  His  watch- 
men are  blind:  they  are  all  ignorant,  they  are  all  dumb 
dogs,  they  cannot  bark;  sleeping,  lying  down,  loving  to 
slumber. 

Yea,  they  are  greedy  dogs  which  can  never  have  enough, 
and  they  are  shepherds  that  cannot  understand:  they  all 
look  to  their  own  way,  every  one  for  his  gain,  from  his 
quarter  (Isaiah  56:10,  11).  Does  not  this  take  us  all  in? 
You  mav  say  this  is  not  for  us.  Please  read  Ecclesiastes 
1 :9  ; 3 :15. 

Have  we  not  all  been  dumb  dogs  which  cannot  bark? 
Can  a man  tell  his  best  friend  how  to  repent  when  he  is 
asleep  ? 

Can  God  call  a man  to  preach  who  is  as  dumb  as  a dumb 
dog  which  cannot  bark?  And  God  says  this  is  our  condi- 
tion. Will  God  send  a man  in  His'  vineyard  to  preach  be- 
fore His  time  to  send  forth  His  Midnight  Cry,  when  He 
says,  WAIT?  (Daniel  12:12). 

So  dear  brother,  I know  a man  to  whom  God  gave  leisure 
of  time  to  search  for  over  ten  years,  to  find  out  these  old  lost 
and  hidden  ways.  But  God  having  a season  and  a time  for 
all  things,  He  could  not  give  him  this  light  only  according 
to  His  set  time.  For  His  time  key  will  open  the  door. 

Therefore  we  have  all  been  warned  to  wait;  and  now  it 
has  come  and  it  will  wake  up  all  those  that  will  hear  it ; and 
our  Lord  says,  He  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

ARE  THERE  ANY  OF  THE 
LORD’S  FOLLOWERS  TODAY? 

IF  THERE  ARE,  WHO  ARE  THEY? 

AND  WHERE  ARE  THEY? 

When  our  Lord  came  He  took  out  a bride  from  among 
the  wicked  husbandmen  of  every  nation,  kindred  and 
tongue ; an  innumerable  company  (Rev.  7:9);  she  is  a Spir- 
itual bride  (Rev.  19:7). 

She  learned  to  follow  in  his  footsteps,  to  live  His  dis- 
cipline (see  His  sermon  on  the  mount)  and  do  His  works, 
and  suffer  martyrdom,  and  to  love  not  their  lives  to  their 
deaths  (see  Rev.  12:11). 

They  were  all  judges  (1st  Corinthians  2:14,  15)  ; they 
had  rest  or  leisure  of  time  to  be  schooled  by  the  Comforter, 
Who  led  them  into  all  truth,  they  had  no  need  of  any  other 
teacher  (1  John  2:27).  And  they  were  made  kings  and 
priests  unto  God  (Rev.  1 :6 ; 5 :10). 

They  were  called  free  sons,  they  had  been  born  again, 
born  out  from  among  the  bondsons  who  are  called  sons  of 
perdition  (see  Galatians  4:19-30).  They  were  new  crea- 
tures, old  things  had  passed  away  and  all  things  became 
new  (2nd  Corinthians  5:17). 

Before  their  new  birth  they  were  all  blind  to  Spiritual 
things  but  afterwards  they  had  more  wisdom  than  Solomon, 
they  also  had  more  power  with  God  than  Elijah,  Daniel, 
the  three  Hebrew  children  and  all  the  old  patriarchs  com- 
bined. 

For  it  is  written  that  the  least  in  their  Lord’s  kingdom 
was  greater  than  any  man  who  came  before  their  Lord’s 
birth  who  only  had  the  natural  birth  of  their  mother ; there- 
fore they  were  called' sons  of  God  (Romans  8:14). 

As  it  is  written,  all  of  these  old  patriarchs  received  a good 
report  through  Faith,  but  received  not  the  promise : God 
having  provided  some  better  thing  for  us,  that  they  without 
us  should  not  be  made  perfect  (Hebrews  11  :39,  40).

THE  STRAIT  GATE  BLESSINGS 
INTO  GOD’S  NARROW  ROAD,  AND 
FEW  THERE  BE  THAT  FIND  IT 

CURSED  be  the  man  that  trusteth  in  man,  and  maketh 
flesh  his  arm. 

CURSED  be  the  man  that  refuses  God’s  blessings  and 
follows  after  cursings  (Deuteronomy  11 :26,  27,  28). 

CURSED  am  I,  if  I fail  to  hear  and  learn  and  practice 
our  Lord’s  New  Commandment,  which  says,  little  children, 
love  one  another. 

CURSED  be  the  man  that  says  Lord,  Lord,  and  fails  to 
do  all  the  Lord  says,  for  He  says,  if  ye  love  me  you  will  do 
all  I tell  you. 

CURSED  be  the  man  who  has  no  ear  to  hear  Spiritual 
things,  this  catches  us  all  since  martyrdom  ceased. 

CURSED  be  the  man  that  hateth  the  words  of  the  Lord, 
because  they  are  sharper  than  any  two-edged  sword,  cutting 
to  the  dividing  asunder  of  soul  and  spirit,  and  of  the  joints 
and  marrow  (Hebrews  4:12). 

CURSED  am  I,  and  all  others  who  shirk  from  duty; 
who  say,  God  helps  them  that  helps  themselves. 

CURSED  is  he  that  holdeth  on  to  this  world’s  goods,  be- 
cause the  Lord  says,  whosoever  there  be  among  you  that 
forsaketh  not  all  that  he  hath,  he  cannot  be  My  disciple 
(Luke  14 :33) . 

CURSED  be  the  man  that  loveth  this  world  or  the 
things  of  this  world.  How  dwelleth  the  love  of  God  in  him  ? 
(1st  John  2:15)  ; and  did  He  not  curse  it?  (Genesis  3:17). 

CURSED  is  every  man  today  that  loves  God’s  cursings 
and  hates  His  blessings;  he  can  never  wake  up. 

CURSED  be  the  wicked,  for  he  shall  do  wickedly,  and 
none  of  the  wicked  shall  understand. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

CURSED  be  all  men  living  under  the  Ten  Command- 
ment law  not  made  for  the  righteous;  but  for  all  manner 
of  wicked  sinning,  whoring  murderers,  so  Paul  says  (1st 
Timothy  1 :9,  10). 

CURSED  are  the  millions  who  have  died  thinking  they 
will  be  saved  in  judgment,  when  God  says,  My  people  are 
destroyed  for  lack  of  knowledge  (Hosea  4:6). 

CURSED  are  the  millions  today  who  put  darkness  for 
light  and  light  for  darkness ; who  say  they  are  saved  when 
their  hope  is  a strong  God-sent  delusion  (2nd  Thessalo- 
nians  2 :1  to  12). 

CURSED  was  I when  I preached  and  did  not  practice 
our  Lord’s  sermon  on  the  mount,  which  is  the  key  to  His 
four  Gospels.  (Read  Matthew  6:19  to  34). 

CURSED  be  the  world  in  these  latter  days,  for  God  says, 
they  shall  wax  worse  and  worse. 

CURSED  be  the  man  that  covets  his  neighbor’s  wife,  his 
ox  or  anything  his  neighbor  has. 

CURSED  be  the  man  that  buys,  sells,  trades,  or  trafficks 
for  gain,  who  begs,  borrows,  or  labors  for  the  meat  which 
perisheth  (John  6:27). 

CURSED  be  the  man  that  taketh  usury  from  his  neigh- 
bor ; shall  he  live  ? No,  he  shall  surely  die  for  these  abom- 
inations (Ezekiel  18:13). 

CURSED  be  the  merchant  that  occupies  his  merchandise 
with  robbery ; the  more  he  decks  his  houses,  his  cities,  and 
his  own  plantation,  the  more  the  anger  of  the  Lord  is 
kindled  against  him. 

CURSED  is  the  huckster  who  shall  hardly  be  freed  from 
sin ; for  as  a nail  sticketh  tight  between  the  joinings  of  the 
stones ; so  doth  sin  stick  close  between  buying  and  selling. 

CURSED  be  the  man  that  will  not  hear  and  practice  all 
these  sayings,  for  he  can  never  find  the  strait  gate  into  the 
narrow  road  of  Eternal  life. 

CURSED  am  I if  I hide  any  light  the  Lord  giveth  me ; 
for  His  deaf,  dumb  and  blind  people  have  no  light,  no 


126 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


wisdom,  and  no  knowledge ; for  how  can  a man  solve  a 
problem  or  know  a thing  when  asleep  ? 

CURSED  am  I if  I love  not  my  brother  though  he  hate 
me  and  persecute  me  and  say  all  manner  of  evil  against  me 
falsely  for  Jesus’  sake. 

CURSED  am  I if  I fail  to  cry  aloud  and  spare  any  man, 
not  even  myself,  for  we  are  all  sinners  alike  until  we  wake 
up  and  learn  the  Father’s  whole  catalogue  of  sin;  then  we 
can  quit  sin  and  be  a saint,  clean  and  white. 

CURSED  are  we  all  if  we  gain  the  whole  world  and  lose 
our  own  souls. 

CURSED  am  I,  if  I sell  this  book  and  use  one  dollar  of 
the  money  for  food  and  raiment,  after  paying  the  printer, 
binder,  shipper  and  agents  who  have  no  faith  in  God  as  all 
spiritually  blind  men  are,  for  I have  light. 

CURSED  be  the  man  who  makes  debts  and  cannot  pay 
them,  for  he  is  no  lover  of  truth ; but 

BLESSED  be  the  man  who  trusteth  in  the  Lord,  for  He 
has  all  power  over  all  flesh,  and  supplieth  all  our  needs. 

BLESSED  be  the  righteous,  for  they  shall  understand, 
for  they  are  purified,  made  white  and  tried  (Daniel  12  :10). 

BLESSED  be  the  sinner  who  will  hear  and  learn  of  the 
Father,  right  now,  His  preparation  written  and  divided 
on  two  lines,  viz.,  good  and  evil,  life  and  death,  blessing  and 
cursing,  and  will  choose  life  and  get  the  New  Birth. 

BLESSED  be  one  and  all  that  will  read  up,  wake  up 
and  wash  up,  and  will  have  on  the  wedding  garment,  holy, 
clean  and  white  when  the  Lord,  the  Bridegroom  cometh. 

BLESSED  is  he,  who  loveth  reproof,  he  is  one  of  God’s 
elect,  for  he  will  die  for  the  truth  as  it  is  in  Christ  Jesus 
(Matthew  24:22;  Isaiah  65:8,  9;  Zechariah  14:2). 

BLESSED  be  the  man  who  will  read  this  article  and 
will  hear  and  prove  our  Lord ’s  Midnight  Cry  ; he  will  wake 
up  and  see  the  reason  why  we  have  never  seen  the  powers 
of  the  saints  demonstrated. 

BLESSED  be  the  man  that  waiteth,  and  cometh  into  the 
1335  days,  saith  the  Lord  to  Daniel,  that  when  He  shall 


MIDNIGHT  CRY  127 

have  accomplished  to  scatter  the  powers  of  the  holy  people, 
then  the  end  shall  come  (Daniel  12  :7,  12). 

BLESSED  be  they  that  will  hear  and  learn  this  Message 
of  the  Father,  and  be  drawn  by  the  Father  to  be  flmong  His 
144,000  of  His  Holy  Servants,  all  Israelites;  and  not  one 
sealed  yet  (Revelation  7 :1  to  8). 

BLESSED  be  the  man  who  will  learn  the  Lord  has  a 
season,  a time,  a set  time  for  every  purpose ; therefore  He 
shut  the  door  of  mercy  with  His  time  key  until  about  the 
fourth  generation  since  He  opened  the  sixth  seal  (Revela- 
tion 6 :12). 

BLESSED  is  that  man  who  will  train  his  ears  to  hear 
and  wake  up,  for  old  things  must  pass  away  and  all  things 
must  become  new. 

BLESSED  be  the  sinners  when  woke  up  who  will  see 
how  far  we  are  living  from  the  old  pentecost  power, 

BLESSED  be  the  man  who  will  wake  up  and  learn  that 
our  Lord  came  to  take  out  a bride,  which  has  been  done 
since  pentecost  down  to  about  1780  A.  D.;  all  purified, 
made  white  and  tried  as  gold  is  tried  in  the  fire  (Revela- 
tion 3 :18). 

BLESSED  are  we  when  we  can  see  the  reason  why 
prophecy  has  to  be  fulfilled  first,  before  our  Lord’s  servants 
can  be  purified,  made  white,  sealed  and  killed  as  the  Lord’s 
bride  were  (Revelation  6:9,  10,  11). 

BLESSED  is  the  man  who  is  one  of  Christ’s  elect,  who 
will  be  numbered  among  God’s  servants,  the  144,000  saints 
(Revelation  7 :1  to  8). 

BLESSED  be  the  servants  and  the  bride  also,  when  the 
Lord  cometh ; He  will  have  millions  all  saved  from  sin,  who 
will  have  one  discipline,  one  faith,  one  Lord,  one  baptism 
and  one  power,  therefore  Christ  is  all. 

BLESSED  be  the  millions  who  were  martyred,  whose 
wmrks  will  follow  them,  for  the  signs  followed  them ; which 
demonstrated  God’s  power  until  all  were  killed. 

BLESSED  are  we,  who  leave  the  root  of  all  evil  and 
choose  the  root  of  all  good. 


128 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


BLESSED  is  he  who  will  train  his  ears  to  hear  and  learn 
the  Midnight  Cry,  for  it  will  put  him  on  the  strait  gate  line 
into  the  narrow  road,  where  only  few  there  be  that  find  it. 

No  subject  should  be  so  interesting  as  the  warning  pro- 
phetical voice  which  says,  search  for  the  old  paths.  The 
prophet  never  could  have  warned  us  to  search  for  these 
paths  if  they  had  not  been  hidden. 

This  broad  road  we  all  know  something  about,  for  we  have 
all  been  trained  in  various  ways  in  order  to  fulfill  Paul’s 
prophecy  of  2nd  Timothy  3 :1  to  5 ; and  every  one  that  loves 
truth  will  read  it  and  find  a perfect  likeness  of  our  Spirit- 
ual training  since  we  all  fell  asleep. 

BLESSED  be  the  man  who  is  a lover  of  the  word,  which 
says,  thou  shalt  not  owe  any  man  anything  but  love ; love 
thy  enemies  and  bless  them. 

BLESSED  be  the  man  that  will  not  give  that  which  is 
holy  unto  dogs ; so  listen  to  this : are  we  not  all  dogs  when 
Spiritually  blind  ? See  what  the  prophet  Isaiah  says  about 
it  (Isaiah  56:10,  11). 

BLESSED  be  the  man  that  will  read  this  little  book  and 
find  the  pearl  of  great  price,  though  the  gate  be  strait  and 
the  road  narrow  he  will  run  with  it  as  soon  as  he  learns  it 
(Habakkuk  2 :2,  3). 

BLESSED  be  the  man  who  will  find  no  fault  with  this 
book ; he  shall  shine  as  the  stars  of  heaven  forever  and  ever. 

HOW  TO  PRAY 

The  Lord  taught  us  how  we  should  pray  after  pentecost, 
after  they  sold  houses,  lands  and  all  goods  (Matthew  6 :9  to 
13)  ; for  He  came  to  fulfill  all  things  which  are  natural; 
and  when  He  prayed  He  did  it  audibly  or  no  one  would 
have  known  how  to  have  written  it  (John  17  :17). 

But  in  Matthew  sixth  chapter  He  told  us  to  go  into  our 
closets  and  shut  the  door  and  pray  to  Him  Who  is  in 
secret,  and  He  that  seeth  in  secret  shall  reward  you  openly. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


129 


So,  dear  reader,  remember  there  is  a great  difference  in 
a man  who  was  never  born  again  and  one  that  is;  after 
pentecost  they  had  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  and  the  Father 
and  the  Comforter,  all  three  in  one  in  them;  and  is  it  not 
sufficient  proof  that  we  have  never  been  born  the  second 
time  when  we  pray  wTith  the  door  of  our  closet  open? 

Are  we  not  God’s  house  if  we  are  born  again?  If  it  is 
true  that  God  is  in  us,  do  we  have  to  pray  audibly  to  get 
Him  to  hear  us?  Is  not  this  one  of  the  many  proofs,  that 
we  must  be  woke  up  to  see  our  ignorance  ? 

Is  it  not  written,  that  we  are  all  antichrist,  who  confess 
not  that  our  Lord  has  come  in  the  flesh?  Is  it  not  suffi- 
cient proof  that  none,  no  not  one,  who  prays  with  his  closet 
door  (mouth)  open,  with  a loud  voice,  that  He  (God)  has 
never  come  into  us  ? When  He  has  all  power  over  all  flesh, 
would  He  allow  such  a thing  in  His  holy  temple  ? 

Dear  brother,  let  us  not  be  deceived,  for  God  is  not 
mocked ; but  this  is  downright  mockery ; and  every  man  who 
believes  he  gets  a prayer  answered  at  any  time  proves  it  is 
a strong  God-sent  delusion. 

And  this  is  the  hidden  mystery  of  this  day.  How  can 
a man  do  otherwise  than  the  wrong  things  when  Spiritu- 
ally asleep?  How  can  a man  hear  and  see  and  talk  with 
a tongue  of  inspiration  when  asleep  (Matthew  25:5,  6). 

Why  do  not  the  so-called  saints  cleanse  the  lepers,  give 
sight  to  the  blind,  and  feed  the  poor  by  the  thousands  and 
cast  out  devils,  as  our  Lord  did  ? And  why  are  there  none 
stoned,  whipped,  imprisoned,  and  killed  by  torture,  sword 
and  fire,  as  the  old  pentecost  saints  were  ? 

I’ll  tell  you  why,  because  the  door  of  mercy  was  shut 
with  God’s  time  key  when  the  last  martyr  was  killed.  And 
millions  have  been  trying  to  open  it  ever  since,  but  alas, 
alas,  God  calls  us  thieves  and  robbers,  for  this  is  a season  of 
darkness  and  no  Spiriiaal  light  at  all. 

And  one  of  the  proofs  is  that  all  sects  are  living  in  their 
nntural  house  and  pray  to  God  up  in  heaven  audibly,  as 
under  the  law  of  types  and  shadows. 


130 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


But  we  must  remember  that  when  our  Lord  comes  into 
a man,  that  man  is  an  entire  new  creature,  and  all  old 
customs  pass  away  and  all  things  become  new.  No  man  can 
say  the  Lord’s  prayer  with  money  in  his  pocket. 

These  are  they,  when  they  need  anything  they  ask  of  God 
and  not  man,  these  are  they  who  live  off  the  altar  as  the 
Levites  did,  whose  altar  is  a type  of  Christ. 

Therefore  this  prayer  which  our  Lord  gave  to  His  poor 
saints,  could  not  labor  for  perishable  things  (John  6:27) 
after  pentecost,  no  more  than  the  Levites ; 

For  they  could  have  no  inheritance  on  the  earth,  they 
were  free  sons,  called  sons  of  God  (Romans  8:14)  ; their 
inheritance  was  in  God  (Numbers  18:20-24)  ; and  God  the 
Father  and  the  Son  and  the  Holy  Spirit  had  come  into 
them  to  dwell  in  them  forever,  and  to  lead  them  into  all 
truth,  and  to  teach  them  all  things. 

Therefore  He  sitteth  in  secret,  and  they  pray  or  talk  to 
Him  in  secret  and  He  rewards  them  openly.  It  is  written, 
Every  spirit  that  confesseth  that  Jesus  Christ  is  come  in 
the  flesh  is  of  God;  but  all  others  are  antichrist  (1  John 
4:2,3). 

How  can  a man  confess  that  God  is  living  in  him  (John 
17  :17,  20,  21)  and  be  praying  or  talking  to  Him  audibly? 

Is  it  not  a proof  that  we  have  been  living  all  our  lives  ful- 
filling prophecy,  under  the  law  ol  types  and  shadows  and  a 
season  of  slumbering  and  sleeping,  waiting  God’s  time  to 
wake  us  up  ? 

This  little  book  called  the  Midnight  Cry  will  not  only 
wake  us  up ; but  our  Lord  says,  all  that  will  hear  it  and 
learn  it  will  come  to  Him  and  be  washed,  cleansed,  puri- 
fied and  made  white,  and  be  drawn  by  the  Father  to  Him 
for  His  baptism  of  Spirit  and  Fire. 

Then  we  will  learn  our  Lord’s  secret  place  and  prayer, 
then  we  will  have  faith  akin  to  that  of  Elijah;  yea,  and 
moreover,  faith  akin  to  our  Lord  and  all  His  followers. 

It  will  open  our  eyes  to  find  the  old  lost  hidden  paths 
that  we  have  been  warned  to  search  for. 


\ 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


131 


It  will  heal  all  our  sicknesses,  so  that  we  shall  never  see 
death ; it  will  keep  famine  and  all  kind  of  pestilence  from 
our  door,  when  this  latter  siege  comes,  which  will  be  very 
sudden  upon  us  all  when  it  comes : 

But  we  shall  be  hid  away  with  Christ  in  God  after  we 
receive  His  power  from  on  high  to  live  by  faith,  and  raise 
the  dead  and  never  see  death,  and  do  all  the  works  our  Lord 
ever  did  and  also  His  disciples,  who  did  greater  works  than 
He  did. 

All  lovers  of  truth  will  have  this  little  book  that  hear  of 
it,  for  they  are  God’s  elect;  and  if  it  was  not  for  His  elect 
this  little  book  would  never  have  been  written.  Well,  Hal- 
lelujah, all  glory  to  Him. 


WARNING  AGAINST  OVER  TWO 
HUNDRED  MAN-MADE  THEORIES 

No  man  can  afford  to  risk  his. eternal  destiny  on  any 
man ’s  theory. 

No  man  can  be  wise,  who  never  takes  leisure  of  time  to 
investigate  the  condition  that  the  world  is  in  Spiritually, 
seeing  over  200  organized  divided  sects. 

No  man  is  fit  to  bring  up  children  who  has  no  Spiritual 
foundation  for  training  his  children  according  to  the 
Father’s  word,  called  a Schoolmaster  to  bring  us  all  to 
His  Son  Jesus  Christ  alike. 

No  man  should  be  so  stupid  minded  as  to  join  a spiritual 
organization  and  live  and  die  in  it  without  a knowledge  of 
its  future  destiny. 

No  man  is  fit  to  live,  who  is  a preacher  or  even  a Bible 
student,  who  never  proved  himself  to  see  if  he  be  in  the 
faith  of  Jesus  Christ,  doing  the  works  of  Jesus  Christ. 


132 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


No  man  is  any  better,  who  can  read  his  Bible  and  who 
will  hire  such  men  to  cradle  him  to  sleep  in  carnal  security, 
with  the  very  same  spirit  the  devil  beguiled  mother  Eve 
with. 

No  man  can  ever  see  God's  face  in  peace  except  he  first 
learns  the  Father's  catalogue  of  sin  and  death,  also  His 
holy  catalogue  of  good  and  life  and  repents  of  his  evil  life. 

For  this  repentance  means  cutting  loose  from  the  things 
which  are  seen  and  living  on  the  narrow  road  of  faith,  for 
that  which  is  not  of  faith  is  sin. 

For  no  man  can  be  a sinning  saint  after  he  has  repented, 
for  there  are  no  sinning  saints;  we  ought  to  see  that  it 
is  written  that  the  just  shall  live  by  eaith  (Habakkuk  2 :4) . 

But  how  can  a hireling  preacher  live  by  the  law  of  faith 
and  take  a salary  at  the  same  time  ? And  does  he  not  teach 
his  congregation  to  eat  their  bread  under  the  law  of  works, 
which  God  made  for  the  unjust  man,  for  sinners  and 
whoring  murderers  ? 

Is  it  not  high  time  to  read  up  and  wake  up  when  we  see 
over  200  religious  sects,  every  one  of  which  is  living  and 
doing  the  same  thing  ? 

This  is  what  opened  my  eyes  when  I proved  to  myself 
that  I preached  a theory  and  I practiced  a lie  and  deceived 
my  hearers,  for  I had  no  faith  until  I went  out  on  the  10th 
chapter  of  Luke  and  proved  it  to  hold  good  today  as  well  as 
in  the  days  of  the  disciples  of  Jesus  Christ  when  He  was 
on  this  earth.  Read  it  for  yourself. 

Then  I learned  that  we  (that  means  all  professors  of 
Christianity  that  live  since  the  sun  turned  as  black  as  sack- 
cloth of  hair,  Revelation  6:12)  have  been  deaf,  dumb,  blind 
and  asleep  according  to  Matthew  25:5  since  about  1780 
A.  D.,  when  the  last  saint  was  killed. 

And  the  Midnight  Cry  is  here  to  wake  us  up,  only  read 
it  and  learn  it  as  Christ  says,  and  He  and  the  Father  will 
do  all  the  rest  (John  6:37  to  40). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

CHRIST  IS  ALL 
THAT  WE  TAKE  HIM  FOR, 

BUT  MONEY  IS  ALL  TO  A SINNER 

Out  of  darkness  comes  the  light  (Collossians  1:13).  To 
know  a thing  is  to  prove  it  and  to  prove  a thing  is  wisdom ; 
and  to  prove  nothing  about  Spiritual  things  is  to  know 
nothing  (see  Luke  10:1  to  12). 

Every  man  that  believes  the  above  statement,  that  Christ 
is  all,  all  in  all,  is  God’s  wise  man,  and  this  faith  purifies 
him  and  makes  him  pure  even  as  He  is  pure  (Matthew 
5:28). 

The  gold,  silver  and  the  cattle  on  a thousand  hills  are  all 
His,  the  earth  and  the  fullness  thereof  are  all  His  (Haggai 
2:8;  Psalms  50:10;  1st  Corinthians  10:26),  and  all  power 
is  given  unto  Him  over  all  flesh  (Matthew  28:18).  There- 
fore Christ  is  All. 

It  is  written,  without  Me  ye  can  do  nothing ; but  through 
Me  ye  can  do  all  things  (John  15:5;  Philippians  4:13). 

I make  good  and  I create  evil ; can  evil  befall  a city  and 
I not  do  it?  when  I am  King  of  kings  and  Lord  of  lords 
and  have  all  power  over  all  flesh  ? We  must  hear,  learn  and 
remember  that  this  preparation  went  forth  soon  after  our 
Lord  began  to  teach ; but  His  hearers  only  learned  it  in  the 
letter  and  after  pentecost  they  put  it  into  practice. 

For  our  Lord’s  bride  had  this  same  preparation  set 
before  them  that  will  wake  up  our  Lord’s  servants  (Rev- 
elation 7 :1  to  8)  and  make  them  as  perfect  as  His  bride  was 
made  perfect.  ^ 

Christ  says,  come  unto  Me  all  ye  that  are  heavy  laden 
and  I will  give  you  rest ; these  are  the  same  words  He  said 
to  His  bride. 

So,  dear  reader,  you  must  remember  that  our  Lord  was 
speaking  to  a people  who  knew  His  preparation;  a people 
who  had  leisure  of  time  to  hear  and  learn ; who  had  been 


134 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


taught  the  Father ’s  two  and  two ; they  knew  the  difference 
between  the  law  of  faith  works  and  the  law  of  carnal 
works  of  vanity. 

When  our  Lord  said,  put  My  yoke  upon  you  and  learn  of 
Me,  and  labor  no  more  for  the  meat  that  perisheth,  they  had 
to  learn  it ; because  ye  are  not  your  own,  Paul  says,  you  are 
bought  with  a price,  be  ye  not  servants  of  men. 

They  understood  this  language  far  better  than  we  do  today 
for  they  knew  that  a Christian  had  to  be  an  antitype  of  the 
Levitical  priesthood,  which  could  have  no  inheritance  on 
this  earth,  and  had  to  live  off  the  altar,  a type  of  Christ 
(Numbers  18 :20  to  24) . 

So  Christ  is  all,  He  is  our  food  and  raiment,  He  is  our 
Spiritual  light  right  now  shining  out  of  a dark  midnight. 

Woe  unto  the  man  that  desires  the  coming  of  the  Lord, 
to  what  profit  is  it  to  him  ? Is  it  not  a time  of  darkness  and 
no  Spiritual  light  in  it  at  all  ? 

Is  it  not  true  that  the  preparation  will  have  to  go  forth 
to  wake  up  the  people  before  light  can  come  to  them  ? What 
can  we  know  when  asleep  ? 

Can  a man  prove  a Spiritual  problem  when  Spiritually 
asleep  ? But  when  a man  commences  to  get  his  Spiritual 
eyes  open,  it  is  because  he  loves  truth,  then  our  Lord,  know- 
ing his  thoughts,  puts  a desire  in  him  to  prove  this  light 
(Luke  10 :1  to  12). 

But  this  light  is  first  made  manifest  in  the  type  on  the 
holy  line  of  free  sons  who  represent  faith,  read  the  seventh 
chapter  of  Hebrews  seven  times,  for  it  is  like  apples  of  gold 
in  pictures  of  silver. 

Christ  is  all  after  we  have  been  washed  by  the  word  and 
purified  and  made  white  and  drawn  to  our  Lord  by  His 
Father. 

He  then  gives  us  His  new  birth ; He  baptises  us  with  His 
Spirit  of  love  which  is  like  unto  fire. 

He  comes  into  us  to  comfort  us  and  to  lead  us  into  all 
truth,  and  to  teach  us  all  things ; for  truly  He  is  all  in  all ; 


MIDNIGHT  CKY  135 

for  no  sickness  or  disease  can  come  near  us,  much  less 

into  us. 

He  will  walk  in  us  (2  Corinthians  7 :16),  He  will  be  our 
mouthpiece,  and  His  love  will  cast  out  devils,  and  His 
Spirit  in  us  will  raise  the  dead  and  do  all  He  says  do. 

He  will  speak  through  us  with  tongues  of  inspiration,  for 
these  tongues  of  ours  which  are  set  on  fire  of  hell,  which 
no  man  can  tame,  will  be  a fire  of  love  (James  3 :6). 


TO  THE  PURE  ALL  THINGS  ARE  PURE; 
LET  GOD  BE  TRUE  AND  ALL  MEN  LIARS 

The  words  of  our  Lord  are  Spirit  and  life ; because  they 
are  truth,  but  there  is  no  Spiritual  life  in  the  word  which 
is  a lie. 

Millions  of  people  living  in  God’s  season  which  is  a time 
of  Spiritual  darkness,  are  straining  at  a gnat  and  swallow- 
ing a camel,  pharisee  like  (Matthew,  23rd  chapter). 

Millions  are  putting  good  for  evil  and  evil  for  good,  while 
thousands  are  claiming  there  is  no  evil,  all  things  are  good ; 
making  God  a liar  and  the  foundation  of  truth  a lie. 

But  let  God  be  true  and  all  men  liars  which  say  there  is 
no  evil,  all  such  are  fulfilling  prophecy  which  says  man 
shall  put  darkness  for  light  and  light  for  darkness,  bitter 
for  sweet  and  sweet  for  bitter. 

He  also  says  men  shall  be  deceived  in  great  numbers, 
they  shall  wander  from  sea  to  sea,  and  from  the  North  to 
the  East,  they  shall  run  to  and  fro  to  seek  the  words  of  the 
Lord,  but  they  shall  not  find  it  (Amos  8 :12). 

Say,  dear  reader,  are  all  these  shalls  a pack  of  lies?  Our 
Lord  says,  while  the  Bridegroom  tarries  they  shall  all  slum- 
ber and  sleep  until  midnight,  then  there  shall  be  a cry 
made ; say,  brother,  is  this  shall  a lie  ? 

Can  a man  be  pure  and  good  when  asleep  ? Can  a man  be 
Spiritually  good  and  make  our  Lord  a liar?  (read 
Matthew  25 :5,  6). 


136 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Can  there  be  any  worse  wickedness  in  the  earth  than  a 
deceived  Spiritual  deceiver  ? and  especially  a blind  man 
trying  to  get  on  God ’s  narrow  road  when  asleep ; when  but 
few  there  be  that  find  it. 

Is  it  not  written,  cursed  be  the  man  that  trusteth  in  man, 
who  leans  on  the  arm  of  flesh?  Will  we  not  have  the  num- 
ber 666  when  sin  comes  to  her  full  of  divided  quarreling 
sects  ? 

Were  there  any  divisions  among  our  Lord’s  bride  which 
were  the  innumerable  multitude  (Revelation  7 :9)  ? Will 
there  be  any  division  among  our  Lord’s  144,000  servants  at 
the  time  of  their  sealing?  No,  no,  such  a thing  cannot  be 
(John  17:17,  21). 


ONLY  ONE  THING  WORTH  LIVING  FOR 
AND  ONLY  ONE  TIME  TO  LEARN  IT 

The  one  thing  needful  is  to  first  hear  and  then  learn  of 
God  the  Father,  what  He  will  have  us  to  do  that  will  make 
us  perfect  like  Himself. 

Only  one  thing  wTorth  living  for  and  that  is  to  hear  and 
learn  the  Father’s  foundation  of  Salvation  and  Damnation 
and  then  we  can  choose  life  and  live. 

All  things  which  have  a beginning  have  also  an  ending, 
except  the  life  of  a sinner  who  has  washed  himself  and  is 
made  pure,  clean  and  white,  and  has  received  the  new  birth. 

He  is  then  built  into  a dwelling  place,  a temple  for  God 
to  live  in  forever ; he  has  eternal  life  which  has  no  end,  he 
is  immortal  in  the  resurrection  of  the  just.  This  is  some- 
thing that  endures  without  an  end,  think  of  it ; and  why 
not  possess  it. 

Oh ! let  us  put  our  mind  to  work  and  wake  up,  and  prove 
up,  and  wrash  up,  and  clean  up  and  be  white ; and  then  we 
can  open  the  door  and  He  will  come  into  us  and  we  will 
sup  with  Him  and  He  with  us. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY  137 

Then  He  will  lead  us  into  all  truth  and  teach  us  all 
things;  and  if  He  teaches  us  all  things,  then  truly  we  will 
all  be  like  him.  Then  our  Lord’s  prayer  will  be  answered 
in  behalf  of  His  servants,  as  it  was  in  behalf  of  His  bride 
when  He  said,  Father,  sanctify  them  through  Thy  truth, 
Thy  word  is  truth.  As  I,  Father  art  in  Thee,  and  Thou  art 
in  me,  that  they  may  be  one  in  us  (John  17  :17,  21). 

Therefore  the  Father  never  sends  a man  to  His  Son,  be- 
fore he  is  washed  by  the  Word,  and  is  cleansed  and  purified 
and  sanctified  wholly,  by  the  Word,  and  made  as  white  as 
snow  all  by  the  Father’s  Word. 

Then  the  Father  sends  him  to  His  Son  that  he  may  re- 
ceive his  new  birth,  then  he  is  baptised  with  the  Spirit  and 
Fire  (Matthew  3:11).  Then  he  will  have  power  with  the 
Lord  to  be  tried  as  gold  is  tried  in  the  fire. 

Then  he  will  walk  in  the  same  old  path  that  the  martyred 
saints  walked  in  for  over  1700  years;  and  nothing  could 
hurt  them,  neither  could  lions  nor  fire  devour  them. 

These  are  they,  after  they  heard  and  learned  this  prepa- 
ration of  the  Father,  found  one  pearl,  and  they  took  it  and 
hid  it  in  a field  (kept  it  a secret  in  their  heart)  ; and  went 
straightway  and  sold  all  they  had  and  bought  that  field 
(Matthew  13  :44) . About  8000  pentecost  saints  did  this 
very  same  thing  and  had  all  things  in  common  (Acts  2:44 
to  47  and  4:32  to  37). 

And  millions  of  others  found  this  pearl  of  great  price 
the  same  way,  which  opened  the  strait-gate-way  into  the 
narrow  road  of  eternal  life. 

And  today  only  few  there  be  that  will  find  it ; the  144,000 
who  are  His  servants  who  are  of  the  elect  will  be  sure  to 
find  it,  but  not  many  others. 

So  LET  US  WHO  LOVE  TRUTH,  BE  WISE  AND  WAKE  UP. 


138 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


A TIME  TO  WAKE  UP  AND 
CLEAN  UP,  AND  GET  READY,  FOR 
THE  BRIDEGROOM  IS  COMING 

One  hundred  and  forty  years  have  rolled  away  and  God ’s 
season  of  total  Spiritual  darkness  has  not  expired,  but  the 
end  has  to  come  at  its  appointed  time  to  wake  us  up ; by 
measure  hath  He  measured  the  times  and  by  numbers  hath 
He  numbered  the  times;  and  He  doth  not  move  nor  stir 
them,  until  said  numbers  be  fulfilled.  (2nd  Edras  4:37 
Apocrypha.) 

And  we  all  know  if  a friend  comes  to  take  us  away  on  a 
journey,  how  hard  it  is  to  wake  us  up  at  midnight,  for  it 
is  not  natural  to  be  woke  up  at  that  time. 

But  at  this  present  time,  Spiritual  Midnight,  a cry  is 
made,  Behold,  the  Bridegroom  cometh,  go  ye  out  to  meet 
Him. 

Can  any  one  dare  to  think  about  meeting  the  Lord  before 
washing,  purifying,  and  making  himself  clean  and  white? 
Can  we  be  so  foolish  as  to  think  that  we  can  appear  before 
our  Lord  without  having  on  the  wedding  garment,  which  is 
as  white  as  snow  ? 

And  how  can  a man  know  how  to  wash  himself,  cleanse 
and  purify  himself,  make  himself  white  without  spot  or 
blemish  and  sanctify  himself,  when  being  Spiritually 
asleep  all  his  life?  absolutely  impossible. 

Millions  have  been  destroyed  for  lack  of  knowledge,  not 
knowing  they  were  deaf,  dumb,  blind  and  asleep.  Millions 
who  are  living  today  are  trying  to  think  they  are  looking 
for  the  coming  of  the  Lord ; but  are  still  looking  after 
filthy  lucre,  Spiritually  blind  and  far  past  redemption. 

For  it  is  written,  Woe  to  the  man  who  desires  the  day  of 
the  Lord ; to  what  profit  shall  it  be  to  him  ? Shall  not  the 
day  of  the  Lord  be  a day  of  darkness  and  no  light  in  it  at 
all?  (Amos  5:18,  20). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


139 


But  look  out  from  this  time  on,  for  procrastination  is  the 
thief  of  time ; and  midnight  is  certainly  a time  that  men 
love  to  sleep  naturally,  and  all  natural  things  are  a type  of 
Spiritual  things. 

So  the  two  and  two  characters  on  the  Father’s  holy  and 
profane  line,  is  a looking  glass  to  one  and  all  who  will  hear 
it,  and  learn  it,  to  see  how  to  cling  to  the  Holy  line,  and 
abandon,  quit,  cut  off  and  wholly  sacrifice  the  filthy  lucre 
line. 

This  will  start  us  into  the  Strait-gate-way  on  the  narrow- 
road-line,  which  only  the  clean,  spotless  white  and  holy  can 
find ; this  is  bringing  forth  fruits  meet  and  worthy  of  re- 
pentance. 

This  means  that  every  one  that  will  hear  and  learn  this 
Midnight  Cry,  the  Father  will  draw  him  to  our  Lord,  and 
He  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day.  (John  6 :44,  45). 

ONLY  ONE  TRUE  WAY  TO  REPENT 

Only  one  way  to  come  to  Jesus  Christ ; and  that  way  the 
Father  has  predestinated  before  the  foundation  of  the 
world.  He  was  over  4000  years  setting  before  us  two  lines 
of  characters. 

God  gave  Adam  two  sons,  Cain  and  Abel,  to  start  these 
two  lines ; Cain  was  a soil  tiller,  a city  builder  and  no  doubt 
a world  lover,  a type  of  the  wicked  husbandman  of  today 
(Matthew  21 :33  to  41) . 

God  set  this  wicked  Cain  line  before  us,  whose  works  are 
all  vanity  and  vexation  of  spirit,  a type  of  sin  and  death, 
to  show  us  the  result  of  Adam’s  disobedience,  the  end  of 
which  is  everlasting  destruction  (Ecclesiastes  1:1-3). 

This  wicked  line  of  bondsons  represent  lovers  of  them- 
selves, coveteous,  liars,  murderers,  whoremongers  and  all 
manner  of  human  demons;  and  God  made  a law  and  gave 
them  six  days  out  of  every  seven  to  eat  their  bread  in 
sweat  and  sorrow;  but  no  one  ever  kept  that  law  before 
Jesus  Christ  came,  read  it  (1st  Timothy  1:1,  2,  3). 


140 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


This  wicked  line  of  types  and  shadows  ends  with  wicked 
Judas  Iscariot,  who  sold  his  Lord  for  money  then  hanged 
himself ; they  would  rather  kill  a man  than  be  killed. 

But  Abel,  whom  Cain  killed,  was  a lamb  to  be  slain  from 
the  foundation  of  the  world,  a type  of  Jesus  Christ  and  all 
His  followers  who  were  His  bride,  who  were  killed  as  He 
was,  over  140  years  ago. 

And  ever  since  that  time  we  have  all  been  slumbering  and 
sleeping,  all  Spiritually  blind,  fulfilling  prophecy. 

Abel  also  represents  the  judges,  prophets,  priests  and 
kings  that  were  good  from  king  David  to  John  the  Baptist, 
who  was  killed  to  please  king  Herod’s  wife;  read  Hebrews 
the  eleventh  chapter. 

We  must  all  remember  that  the  Old  Testament  scriptures 
are  only  types  and  shadows,  and  no  man  could  commit  a 
willful  sin  before  Christ  came  (John  15:22). 

NOW  LEARN  HOW  TO  REPENT 

Here  we  see  that  Cain  represents  the  wicked  bondson  law 
made  for  murderers,  a type  of  two  deaths  see  second  death 
in  Revelation  twentieth  chapter. 

And  we  see  how  Abel  represents  the  holy  law  of  faith 
works  made  for  sons  of  God  (Romans  8:14),  also  for 
judges  (1st  Corinthians  2:15)  and  kings  and  priests  (Rev- 
elation 1:6;  5:10)  who  never  saw  death  (John  6:50;  8:51). 

Now  comes  the  Father’s  schoolmaster,  a teacher,  a holy 
cleanser,  a purifier,  to  make  the  Lord’s  house  white  before 
He  can  come  into  it  (Daniel  12:10). 

We  must  first  hear  and  learn  the  Father’s  preparation, 
His  Midnight  Cry;  and  read  up  and  wake  up,  for  Jesus 
says,  that  every  one  that  will  hear  and  learn  it  will  come  to 
him  and  He  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day  (John 
6:44,  45). 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


141 


When  we  look  upon  the  things  of  the  Most  High  there 
are  two  and  two,  the  one  against  the  other,  life  against 
death  and  good  against  evil,  the  sinner  against  the  Godly 
and  the  Godly  against  the  sinner  (see  Deuteronomy  30:15 
and  Ecclesiasticus  33:14,  15  Apocrypha). 

Here  are  about  fifty  articles  in  this  little  book  of  good  and 
evil  characters ; when  you  hear  or  read  them  and  learn 
them,  the  good  line  which  is  holy,  clean  and  white,  and  sanc- 
tified by  the  word,  will  make  us  all  of  one  mind  and  one 
heart  (John  17  :17,  21). 

And  this  holy  line  of  characters  so  far  exceeds  the  pro- 
fane unholy  line  that  Jesus  Christ  says,  when  a man  will 
hear  and  learn  of  the  Father  (this  preparation)  he  will 
come  to  Him  (Christ)  and  He  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last 
day  (John  6 :45). 

He  will  raise  him  up  because  he  has  chosen  the  holy, 
clean  life  line  and  sacrificed  the  unholy,  profane  line  of  sin 
and  death. 

This  is  REPENTANCE,  this  is  the  washing  of  regener- 
ation by  the  word,  this  is  our  Schoolmaster  to  bring  us  to 
Christ  (Galatians  3 :24). 

This  will  make  us  a living  sacrifice,  a whole  burnt  offer- 
ing, a lamb  for  the  slaughter  and  meet  for  the  Master's 
use  and  turned  loose  among  wolves. 

Then  will  come  the  new  birth  and  the  enduement  of 
power  to  do  His  works,  then  we  have  no  need  of  a man  to 
teach  us,  then  old  things  all  pass  away  and  all  things  be- 
come new. 

Then  we  can  do  our  Lord's  works,  then  His  signs  will 
follow  us  as  they  did  the  pentecost  saints,  then  we  can 
glory  in  tribulation,  hallelujah ! for  nothing  can  hurt  us, 
hallelujah ! 

And  this  is  what  the  Midnight  Cry  will  do  for  us  if  we 
learn  it,  and  Christ  will  raise  us  up  at  the  last  day, 
HALLELUJAH ! !

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


HOW  THE  LORD  TAUGHT  FAITH 
TO  THE  ISRAELITES  TO  MAKE  THEM 
THE  TYPE  OF  THE  PENTECOST  SAINTS 

As  Moses  lifted  up  the  serpent  in  the  wilderness,  even 
so  must  the  Son  of  man  (Jesus  Christ)  he  lifted  up:  that 
whosoever  believeth  in  Him  should  not  perish,  but  have 
eternal  life  (John  3:14,  15). 

But  we  must  remember  that  God  had  redeemed  Israel  out 
of  Egyptian  bondage  of  real  slavery,  a type  of  us  Israelites 
today,  all  running  late  and  early  hunting  a living,  having 
no  faith  in  God's  power  over  all  flesh. 

So  God  took  them  out  of  His  bondage  where  He  had  put 
them  for  nearly  250  years;  and  put  them  in  a dry  desert 
called  wilderness,  where  He  fed  them  on  food  from 
heaven,  and  gave  them  water  to  drink  out  of  a rock,  which 
rock  was  Jesus  Christ,  for  forty  years. 

These  things  He  did  to  teach  rest  and  give  leisure  of 
time  to  the  pentecost  saints,  and  all  of  His  followers  for 
over  1700  years  as  well  as  us  today,  also  His  power  over  all 
flesh  to  supply  all  our  needs  without  any  of  our  help,  for  no 
man  could  do  anything  for  forty  years  in  the  wilderness 
life. 

And  we  must  remember  these  Israelites  numbered  several 
millions,  for  there  were  thirteen  tribes  of  them;  and  they 
were  all  in  a helpless  condition,  just  like  a little  new  born 
natural  babe  is  today,  and  they  were  a perfect  type  of  sal- 
vation, wholly  saved  from  care. 

For  the  little  new  born  babe  cannot  even  turn  its  little 
hand  over  or  use  its  little  arm  of  flesh  to  help  to  support 
itself,  even  so  helpless  were  they  in  the  wilderness  journey 
for  forty  years,  eating  bread  from  heaven;  for  cursed  be 
the  man  that  trusteth  in  man  or  in  the  arm  of  flesh. 

This  gives  us  a type  of  the  true  bread  from  heaven 
(Jesus  Christ),  and  every  one  who  eateth  of  this  bread  shall 


MIDNIGHT  CBY  143 

never  hunger,  nor  thirst,  and  shall  never  see  death  (John 
6:48,  50,  51,  58). 

Therefore  our  sacrifices  are  only  filthy  rags  in  comparison 
to  Eternal  life,  so  let  us  see  the  proof  of  it,  when  we  count 
the  cost. 

Many  people  have  a great  deal  of  trouble  about  counting 
the  cost  before  they  have  heard  and  learned  the  Father’s 
preparation  and  wake  up,  and  come  to  the  knowledge  of 
the  value  of  His  hidden  pearl  of  great  price. 

And  this  is  his  ‘filthy  lucre  swine-pen  sacrifice,  which 
opened  the  prodigal  son’s  eyes  to  see  his  condition  (Luke 
15:3  to  32),  for  no  man  can  see  when  asleep,  and  then  he 
all  of  a sudden  got  through  with  all  trade  and  traffic  for 
gain; 

He  stopped  running  to  and  fro  for  filthy  lucre,  he  quit 
sowing  and  reaping  and  gathering  into  storehouses,  he  woke 
up  to  the  fact  that  he  could  be  a free  son  king  instead  of  a 
bondson  slave ; 

He  heard  and  learned  the  new  commandment  law  of 
Jesus  Christ  which  is  the  law  of  faith,  which  is  the  law  of 
love,  which  casteth  out  all  fear,  and  gave  him  power  with 
God  to  do  His  work. 

And  his  Sacrifice  is  the  abandonment  of  the  bondson 
traffic  of  this  world  of  works  of  vanity  and  vexation  of 
spirit,  in  which  he  labored  days,  weeks,  months,  and  year 
in  and  year  out,  up  hill  and  down  hill,  through  thorns  and 
briers,  thistles  and  nettles,  envy  and  malice,  hunger  and 
cold,  at  home  and  abroad,  on  land  and  on  sea. 

Having  travail  under  the  law  made  for  sinners  and  un- 
holy slaves,  who  murder  and  do  all  manner  of  wickedness, 
so  Paul  says  (1st  Timothy  1:9,  10);  whose  God  is  their 
belly,  who  glory  in  their  shame,  and  this  takes  me  in  as  well 
as  all  others  who  mind  earthly  things  (Philippians 
3:18,  19). 

Paul  wept  over  this  class  of  people  for  he  saw  their  end 
was  destruction,  and  if  he  was  here  now,  he  would  weep 


144 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


over  all  those  today  who  would  be  so  stupid  as  to  not  get 
a copy  of  the  Lord's  Midnight.  Cry; 

So  that  he  could  read  up  and  wake  up  and  give  up  this 
old  bondson's  swine-pen  traffic  which  brings  all  manner  of 
sickness,  pains  and  miseries  untold,  and  two  deaths. 

The  first  death  is  the  grave,  which  is  only  a shadow  of  the 
second  death,  which  comes  at  the  great  judgment  day,  when 
all  sinners  will  appear  naked  before  God  and  the  holy 
angels  (without  the  robe  of  Christ's  righteousness)  to  be 
cast  into  the  lake  of  fire  and  brimstone.;  this  is  the  second 
death. 

And  on  the  other  hand  we  can  have  power  akin  to  Elijah, 
who  lived  by  faith,  feed  the  poor,  and  raised  the  dead ; and 
as  Daniel  who  shut  the  mouths  of  lions,  and  the  three 
Hebrew  children  who  quenched  the  violence  of  the  fire ; all 
for  you  and  me  (see  Hebrews  11th  chapter),  and  this  was 
under  the  law  of  types  and  shadows. 

So  the  Pentecost  saints  did  all  the  miracles  that  we  read 
of  in  the  11th  chapter  of  Hebrews,  for  the  least  in  the 
Father’s  kingdom  was  greater  than  any  man  born  of 
woman,  for  they  were  all  born  of  the  Spirit. 

THE  VALLEY  OF  DECISION 

Dear  reader,  are  you  ready  to  decide  for  weal  or  woe? 
Do  you  want  salvation  from  all  sin  ? Do  you  have  a desire 
to  know  how  to  meet  our  Lord  in  peace  ? Then  follow 
peace  with  all  men,  and  holiness,  without  which  no  man 
shall  see  the  Lord. 

The  Lord  says,  Ye  shall  be  holy:  for  I the  Lord  your 
God  am  holy.  And  Paul  says,  I beseech  you  brethren,  by 
the  mercies  of  God,  that  ye  present  your  bodies  a living  sac- 
rifice, holy,  acceptable  unto  the  Lord  (Romans  12:1,  2). 

No  offering  can  be  acceptable  unto  the  Lord,  except  it  be 
clean,  without  spot  or  blemish,  which  means  holy. 

It  is  written  also  in  the  book  of  Daniel  12  :10,  many  shall 
be  purified,  made  white  and  tried ; and  millions  of  our 


MIDNIGHT  CEY  145 

Lord’s  bride  have  fulfilled  that  scripture  (Revelation 
7:13,14). 

Our  Lord  says,  No  man  can  come  to  Me  except  the 
Father  which  hath  sent  me  draw  him,  and  I will  raise  him 
up  at  the  last  day.  Therefore  it  is  written,  that  we  must 
first  be  taught  of  the  Father  how  to  be  clean,  pure,  and 
made  white,  before  we  can  be  sent  by  the  Father  to  His 
Son. 

Therefore  His  house  (our  bodies)  must  be  holy,  swept 
clean  and  garnished  before  the  Father  can  present  us  to  His 
Son  for  the  new  birth,  which  is  baptism  of  Spirit  and  fire. 

So  this  plan  of  a sinner  coming  to  Christ  is  like  many 
other  things  which  has  been  hidden  from  the  noble,  the  wise 
and  the  prudent,  who  live  after  the  flesh,  since  the  wolves 
slaughtered  the  last  of  the  saints  about  140  years  ago. 

And  since  the  old  path  has  been  hidden  or  lost,  we,  who 
call  ourselves  believers  in  Jesus  Christ,  have  made  over  200 
disciplines  or  paths,  all  called  by  different  names  to  fulfill 
prophecy  (Revelation  17  :3  to  5)  ; 

And  not  one  among  them  that  has  the  Father’s  plan, 
which  is  His  schoolmaster  to  wash,  cleanse,  purify,  and 
make  white  us  filthy-unwashed-unholy-world-loving-sinners, 
is  clean  and  white,  no  not  one. 

And  this  is  good  proof  that  our  Lord’s  sayings  in 
Matthew  25:5,  6,  means  just  what  it  says,  viz.,  4 ‘While  the 
Bridegroom  tarried  they  all  slumbered  and  slept.  And  at 
midnight  there  was  a cry  made,  Behold,  the  Bridegroom 
cometh ; go  ye  out  to  meet  him.” 

This  present  time  is  Spiritual  midnight  and  no  man  can 
be  ready  to  meet  the  Lord  before  he  has  heard  and  learned 
the  Father’s  preparation. 

No  man  can  see  His  face  in  peace  without  holiness,  no 
man  can  be  changed  in  the  twinkle  of  an  eye  from  mortality 
to  immortality  except  he  has  been  made  white  and  tried. 

No  man  can  meet  Him  and  see  Him  as  He  is,  Whose  eyes 
are  like  a flame  of  fire,  Whose  robe  is  as  white  as  snow,  and 
be  like  Him  without  the  Father’s  preparation. 


146 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


And  this  has  been  the  Father’s  season,  a time  to  fulfill 
His  prophecy,  which  is  mentioned  many  times  in  this  book. 

And  as  the  Lord’s  bride  has  made  herself  ready  (Revela- 
tion 19:7)  about  140  years  ago;  her  Lord  has  been 
tarrying  all  these  years,  even  to  the  fourth  generation, 
which  is  now  about  expired  (Exodus  20:4,  5). 

Therefore  it  is  midnight,  when  He  said  there  should  be 
a cry  made  to  wake  us  up,  and  wash  us  and  make  us  white. 
Awake,  awake,  put  on  thy  strength  0 daughter  of  Zion, 
put  on  thy  beautiful  garment,  the  wedding  garment. 

Arise,  shine  for  thy  light  is  come,  for  the  Glory  of  the 
Lord  is  come,  the  preparation  which  we  have  been  warned 
to  wait  for  has  come  (Isaiah  60 :1,  2). 

And  this  preparation  is  for  our  Lord’s  servants,  the 
144,000  Israelites  of  Revelation  7 :2  to  8,  see  Revelation 
6 :10,  11,  and  others  of  their  brethren  that  shall  be  killed 
as  they  were. 

So  do  not  get  sore  or  scared,  dear  reader,  at  this  killing 
process,  for  none  of  our  Lord’s  bride  ever  saw  death,  yet 
they  were  tried  as  gold  is  tried  in  the  fire  (Revelation  3 :18). 

And  the  same  preparation  which  it  took  to  perfect  them, 
it  will  take  to  perfect  us,  and  our  Lord  is  our  pattern,  who 
has  all  power  over  all  flesh.  And  says,  He  will  cast  none 
away  whom  the  Father  will  send  to  Him  (John  6:37,  38, 
39),  and  He  will  raise  them  up  at  the  last  day. 

He  has  promised  to  bear  our  afflictions,  and  no  sickness 
shall  come  near  our  dwelling,  His  house,  which  is  our 
bodies;  and  how  can  the  enemy  bring  sickness  into  our 
Lord’s  temple?  Is  He  not  a consuming  fire?  Can  fire 
burn  fire?  Can  God’s  natural  fire  burn  Jesus  Christ  in 
His  temple,  whose  temple  are  we,  if  it  be  holy  (1st  Corin- 
thians 3 :16,  17)  ? 

So  time  is  short  and  this  can  be  called  the  valley  of 
decision,  procrastination  is  the  thief  of  time,  and  he  (Satan) 
will  rob  us  all  of  eternal  life  if  we  fail  to  wake  up  and  heed 
this  call. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY

A GREAT  LIGHT  SHINING 
OUT  OF  GROSS  DARKNESS 

A searcher  of  hidden  Spiritual  truth,  has  been  diligent 
day  and  night,  searching  the  word  to  find  out  the  reason 
why  the  land  has  become  barren  of  faith  and  the  truth 
hidden. 

And  in  the  search  he  has  found  out  the  reason,  viz.,  be- 
cause it  is  so  written  that  God  has  a season  and  a time  for 
every  purpose  and  every  work  under  the  heaven  (Eccle- 
siastes 3:1). 

And  this  is  an  eye-opener,  called  the  midnight  cry,  a 
looking  glass  to  see  how  filthy  one  will  get  when  asleep 
Spiritually,  all  his  life. 

The  prophets  have  warned  us  of  this  season,  long  before 
martyrdom  ceased  that  the  Lord  would  send  us  a famine  in 
the  land,  not  of  bread  nor  of  water,  but  a famine  of  the 
hearing  of  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

He  also  says,  men  shall  wander  from  sea  to  sea,  and 
from  the  North  to  the  East,  to  seek  His  word  and  they  shall 
not  find  it  (Amos  8:11,  12).  So  this  is  that  great  light, 
which  has  now  been  discovered  shining  out  of  great  dark- 
ness. 

Think  of  our  prophetical  state  for  the  past  140  years  all 
asleep,  and  millions  having  a perpetual  sleep,  Jeremiah  51 : 
39-57 ; I will  lay  thy  cities  waste,  thou  shalt  be  desolate ; for 
thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  daughters  of  Babylon  are  like  a 
threshing  floor,  it  is  time  to  thresh  her ; her  harvest  is  soon 
to  come  for  she  is  about  to  fall ; therefore  the  cry  says,  come 
out  of  her  my  people. 

According  to  prophecy  there  is  no  Spiritual  light  at  all 
(see  Amos  5 :18-20).  For  it  is  the  Lord’s  season,  or  tirge  of 
Spiritual  wickedness  in  high  places  (Ephesians  6:12)  ; 

A time  of  Spiritual  sleeping,  falling  away  from  doing 
all  our  Lord  says  do;  see  the  sermon  on  the  mount,  also 
Luke  12  :33  ; and  14 :33. 


148 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


Falling  away  from  the  word,  for  God  says,  we  shall  not 
find  the  word ; therefore  we  have  no  Spirit  and  fire  as  the 
pentecost  saints  had  (see  Acts  2 :4). 

No  foundation  of  faith  to  which  to  add  God's  good 
works  of  virtue,  knowledge,  temperance,  patience,  Godli- 
ness, brotherly  kindness,  and  charity,  which  is,  love  our 
neighbor  as  ourselves. 

Then  we  can  heal  the  sick  and  never  be  sick,  raise  the 
dead  and  never  see  death,  feed  the  poor  and  never  go  hun- 
gry, give  sight  to  the  blind,  and  cleanse  the  lepers  and  cast 
out  devils ; for  God's  love  has  no  fear,  for  God  is  love,  which 
is  a consuming  fire. 

Therefore  natural  fire  cannot  burn  God  nor  His  temple 
in  which  He  lives,  which  is  our  body,  before  His  bride  or 
servants  are  made  as  perfect  even  as  He  is  perfect 
(Matthew  5 :48). 

Then  He  gives  the  body  to  the  beasts,  or  to  the  devouring 
flames;  like  Stephen  they  all  fell  asleep,  and  their  spirit, 
which  had  been  made  like  unto  Him  (Jesus),  went  to  Him 
who  baptised  them  with  His  Spirit  and  fire. 

Dear  reader,  remember  we  are  all  sinners  alike,  for  we 
have  never  seen  a sinless  saint  in  all  our  life;  and  this  is 
that  great  light  which  went  out  about  140  years  ago  when 
God  opened  the  sixth  seal  of  Revelation  6 :12 ; which  this 
little  book  tells  about. 

God  has  two  classes  of  people  to  be  immortal,  viz.,  the 
bride  which  made  herself  ready  about  140  years  ago  (Rev- 
elation 19  :7)  ; 

And  the  servants  of  our  Lord,  who  are  Spiritually 
asleep,  and  who  are  the  144,000  (Revelation  7 :3,  4).  And 
they  must  wake  up  before  they  can  be  purified,  made  white 
(Daniel  12:10)  and  sealed  (Revelation  7 :l-8). 

And  this  midnight  cry  is  God’s  book  of  preparation 
which  we  have  all  been  warned  to  wait  for  (see  Habakkuk 
2:2,  3,  4).  It  is  God's  book  of  visions,  the  word  rightly 
divided  as  God  has  set  it  before  us ; 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


149 


Which  says,  look  upon  all  the  works  of  the  Most  High, 
‘and  there  are  two  and  two — one  against  the  other,  life 
against  death  and  good  against  evil,  the  sinner  against  the 
Godly  and  the  Godly  against  the  sinner. 

These  two  lines  run  parallel  with  each  other  from  Adam 
to  Christ,  over  4000  years  of  Bible  history ; which  are  only 
types  and  shadows  of  the  two  destinations,  which  is  our 
schoolmaster,  our  preparation  to  bring  us  to  Christ 
(John  6:44,  45). 

THE  VITAL  SPARK,  THE  NEW  BIRTH 
AND  FOUNDATION  OF  PERFECTION 
GOSPEL  OF  JOHN  6TH  CHAPTER 

The  foundation  of  salvation  is  to  get  the  Vital  Spark; 
and  the  foundation  of  the  Vital  Spark  is  faith  in  the 
Word;  and  to  have  faith  in  the  Word  is  to  eat  the  Word, 
for  the  Word  is  meat  indeed;  yes  the  Word  is  flesh  indeed, 
for  it  was  made  flesh,  even  the  flesh  of  Jesus  Christ. 

Therefore  the  Word  is  Spirit  and  life  (John  6:63)  ; if 
you  have  faith  in  the  Word,  you  will  practice  the  Word, 
then  you  have  proved  the  Word,  then  you  have  the  Spirit 
of  God  in  you,  which  is  life. 

For  the  body,  the  flesh,  without  the  blood  is  dead,  so  in 
likewise  is  the  Word  a dead  letter  without  putting  it  into 

PRACTICE. 

It  is  written,  %;he  that  believeth  on  Me  hath  everlasting 
life,”  if  he  does  all  that  Jesus  Christ  says  do,  and  that 
means  work  for  Jesus  Christ  and  not  for  self  (John  6:27). 

For  why  call  ye  Me  Lord,  Lord,  and  do  not  the  things 
which  I say  (Luke  6:46)  ? If  ye  say  ye  know  Me  and  do 
not  My  works,  ye  are  liars  and  there  is  no  truth  in  you 
(1st  John  1 :4) . 

But  if  ye  believe  in  Me,  if  My  words  abide  in  you  the 
works  that  I do  ye  shall  do  also,  and  greater  works  than 
these  shall  ye  do  (John  14:12). 


150 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


THIS  FAITH  IN  THE  WORD  IS  THE  VITAL  SPARK 

When  we  hear  the  Word,  if  we  love  it,  we  will  eat  it, 
which  is  bread,  which  is  flesh,  which  is  meat  which  came 
down  from  heaven,  which  is  Blood,  which  is  Life  when  we 
practice  it. 

And  every  man  that  hath  eaten  this  Word  hath  also 
eaten  this  flesh,  which  is  His  Word;  and  when  he  has 
practiced  this  Word  he  has  drank  His  blood,  which  is 
Spirit  and  Life ; therefore  he  shall  never  see  death. 

Truly  this  is  the  Vital  Spark,  which  quickens  us  into  this 
new  life,  then  old  things  all  pass  away  and  all  things  be- 
come new. 

The  corn  of  wheat  must  first  be  planted  into  the  ground 
and  die  before  it  can  be  quickened  into  a new  life  and  bring 
forth  grain  fruit  (John  12:24). 

Paul  says,  knowing  this  that  our  old  man  (our  old  na- 
ture) is  crucified  with  Him  (Christ),  that  the  body  of  sin 
might  be  destroyed,  that  henceforth  we  should  not  serve 
sin  (Romans  6:6),  for  he  that  is  born  of  the  Spirit  can- 
not sin. 

This  explains  the  sixth  chapter  of  the  gospel  of  John, 
especially  from  verse  twenty-seven  to  fifty-eight  inclusive ; 
read  it  seven  times  and  die  to  the  Old  Testament  school- 
master, after  you  have  learned  it  thoroughly  (John  6:44, 
45),  and  no  beast  or  fire  or  anything  can  hurt  you. 

And  then  live  on  the  true  bread  from  heaven,  which  is 
our  Lord’s  word,  and  then  drink  His  blood  by  practicing 
His  word  (see  sermon  on  the  mount,  especially  chapter 
6:24  to  34  and  Luke  14:33)  ; and  then  look  and  live  eter-  x 
nally  and  never  see  death. 

This  power  has  been  lost  since  our  Lord  has  been  tarry- 
ing, but  all  of  His  elect  will  find  it  for  they  love  truth,  and 
the  truth,  will  make  them  free,  and  He  will  supply  all  their 
needs;  and  make  them  all  perfect,  just  like  Himself. 

He  that  hath  ears  to  hear  let  him  hear. 

The  word  proclaims  this  over  seven  times,  but  Few  there 
be  that  heed  it. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


151 


BEHOLD,  THE  BRIDEGROOM  COMETH, 
GO  YE  OUT  TO  MEET  HIM 

This  world  is  God’s  schoolhouse,  and  the  Old  Testament 
is  God’s  book  of  records  which  was  predestinated  before  the 
foundation  of  the  world  (Romans  8:29,  30;  Ephesians 
1:4,5). 

And  it  is  written  on  two  lines  of  good  and  evil  charac- 
ters, from  the  Garden  of  Eden  to  the  Garden  of  Geth- 
semane. 

These  two  lines  of  good  and  evil  characters  are  types  or 
shadows,  representing  life  and  death,  blessing  and  cursing. 

And  they  run  parallel  with  each  other  for  over  4000 
years,  from  wicked  Cain  to  wicked  Judas  Iscariot,  who 
sold  his  Lord  for  money  and  then  hanged  himself;  and 
from  righteous  Abel  to  righteous  John  the  Baptist,  whom 
king  Herod  killed  to  please  his  wife. 

These  two  lines  of  life  and  death  characters  are  the 
Father’s  schoolmaster  to  bring  us  to  His  Son  Jesus  Christ, 
who  came  down  from  heaven  to  take  out  a Spiritual  Bride 
(Revelation  19:7). 

This  Spiritual  Bride,  we  must  all  learn,  is  neither  male 
nor  female  in  the  resurrection  of  the  just ; but  are  as  the 
angels  of  heaven. 

So  these  two  lines  are  the  Father’s  foundation  of  weal  or 
woe,  salvation  and  damnation,  and  all  men,  after  reading 
it,  have  the  power  of  choice.  Christ  says,  that  every  one 
that  hath  heard  and  hath  learned  it  will  come  to  Him,  and 
He  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day  (John  6 :44,  45). 

It  is  written  in  the  prophets : write  the  vision  and  make 
it  plain  upon  tables  or  tablets,  for  him  that  readeth  that  he 
may  run.  So  dear  reader,  do  not  be  alarmed  when  you 
read  this  Midnight  Cry,  when  you  see  the  many  times  it 
repeats  itself. 


152 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


But  when  you  read  up  and  wake  up,  you  will  see  where  it 
repeats  itself  so  often ; that  they  are  most  all  vital  points 
made  plain. 

In  the  sixth  chapter  of  John  we  see  the  word  Bread 
mentioned  fourteen  times,  because  the  word  Bread  is  the 
Vital  Spark;  and  we  have  to  read  and  wake  up  before  we 
can  eat  and  swallow  all  there  is  in  that  chapter ; for  the 
word  Bread  means  all  it  says,  which  is  LIFE. 

And  every  one  that  will  hear  and  learn  this  book,  though 
he  read  it  seven  times,  John  says,  he  shall  never  hunger, 
he  shall  never  thirst,  he  shall  live  forever,  he  shall  never 
see  death,  though  he  be  tried  in  the  fire  nothing  shall 
hurt  him. 

All  this  power  with  God  we  have  lost  since  martyrdom 
ceased,  and  all  this  we  will  gain  as  soon  as  we  read  up  and 
wake  up,  and  the  blessed  Lord  will  pour  out  His  latter  day 
rains  of  Spirit  and  Fire  upon  us. 

As  the  former  rains  or  baptism  prepared  our  Lord’s 
bride  for  eternal  life  and  immortality,  so  in  like  manner 
will  the  latter  rains  prepare  our  Lord’s  servants,  see  Rev- 
elation 7 :1  to  8 and  6 :11. 

What  we  need  and  what  we  will  get,  is  the  same  washing, 
cleansing,  and  holy  preparation  that  the  Lord’s  bride  got 
before  the  Father  would  send  them  to  His  Son  Jesus 
Christ  (John  6 :37). 

Then  He  (Jesus  Christ)  sent  His  Spirit  into  them,  a 
Comforter  and  a Teacher  to  live  in  them  forever,  and  lead 
them  into  all  truth,  and  teach  them  all  things. 

This  Comforter  is  the  Holy  Spirit  which  comes  into  us 
at  the  new  birth ; but  no  man  can  come  to  Him  (Christ)  ex- 
cept the  Father  which  hath  sent  Him  (Christ)  draw  him 
(man),  and  nothing  can  pluck  them  out  of  His  hand  (John 
10  :28) . 

This  washing  of  regeneration  is  in  the  Father’s  two  lines 
of  life  and  death  characters,  which  He  has  set  before  us; 
and  to  hear  and  learn  them  is  wisdom,  which  gives  every 
man  the  power  of  choice. 


MIDNIGHT  CRY 


153 


And  to  sacrifice  the  unholy  visible  works  of  sin  and 
death  is  Repentance ; and  choose  the  holy  invisible  works  of 
faith,  is  Eternal  Life. 

And  this  preparation  is  the  old  hidden  lost  path  which 
we  have  been  warned  to  search  for ; and  by  long  and  weari- 
some toil  day  and  night,  with  no  education,  the  writer  has 
found  the  lost  and  hidden  key  to  the  strait  gate  into  the  nar- 
row road  of  life.  We  must  take  leisure  of  time  by  all 
means  to  read  and  learn  it  and  then  practice  it. 

THE  MILLENNIUM 

We  read  in  the  thirty-seventh  chapter  of  the  prophecy  of 
Ezekiel  the  following  words:  The  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
upon  me,  and  carried  me  out  in  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord,  and 
set  me  down  in  the  midst  of  the  valley  which  was  full  of 
dry  bones. 

And  caused  me  to  pass  by  them  round  about:  and,  be- 
hold, there  were  very  many  in  the  open  valley;  and  lo, 
they  were  very  dry. 

And  He  said  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  can  these  dry  bones 
live,  And  I answered,  0 Lord  God,  thou  knowest. 

Again  He  said  unto  me,  Prophesy  unto  these  bones,  and 
say  unto  them ; 0 dry  bones,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  unto  these  dry  bones;  Behold, 
I will  cause  breath  to  enter  into  you,  and  ye  shall  live : 

And  I will  lay  sinews  upon  you,  and  will  bring  up  flesh 
upon  you,  and  cover  you  with  skin,  and  put  breath  in  you, 
and  ye  shall  live ; and  ye  shall  know  that  I am  the  Lord. 

So  I prophesied,  as  I was  commanded:  and  as  I prophe- 
sied, there  was  a noise,  and  behold  a shaking,  and  the  bones 
came  together,  bone  to  his  bone. 

And  when  I beheld,  lo,  the  sinews  and  the  flesh  came 
upon  them,  and  the  skin  covered  them  above : but  there  was 
no  breath  in  them. 

Then  said  He  unto  me,  Prophesy  unto  the  wind,  proph- 
esy, son  of  man,  and  say  unto  the  wind,  Thus  saith  the  Lord

MIDNIGHT  CRY 


God;  Come  from  the  four  winds,  0 breath,  and  breathe 
upon  these  slain,  that  they  may  live. 

So  I prophesied  as  He  commanded  me,  and  the  breath 
came  unto  them,  and  they  lived,  and  stood  up  upon  their 
feet,  an  exceeding  great  army. 

Then  He  said  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  these  bones  are  the 
whole  house  of  Israel  behold,  they  say,  Our  bones  are 
dried,  and  hope  is  lost : we  are  cut  off  for  our  parts. 

Therefore  prophesy  and  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Behold,  0 my  people,  I will  open  your  graves, 
and  cause  you  to  come  up  out  of  your  graves,  and  bring  you 
into  the  land  of  Israel. 

And  ye  shall  know  that  I am  the  Lord,  when  I have 
opened  your  graves,  0 my  people,  and  brought  you  up 
out  of  your  graves, 

And  shall  put  my  Spirit  in  you,  and  ye  shall  live,  and  I 
shall  place  you  in  your  own  land : then  shall  ye  know  that  I 
the  Lord  have  spoken  it,  and  performed  it,  saith  the  Lord. 

And  Isaiah  says  in  the  eleventh  chapter;  the  wolf  also 
shall  dwell  with  the  lamb,  and  the  leopard  shall  lie  down 
with  the  kid ; and  the  calf  and  the  young  lion  and  the  fat- 
ling  together ; and  a little  child  shall  lead  them. 

And  the  cow  and  the  bear  shall  feed ; their  young  ones 
shall  lie  down  together;  and  the  lion  shall  eat  straw  like 
the  ox. 

And  the  sucking  child  shall  play  on  the  hole  of  the  asp, 
and  the  weaned  child  shall  put  his  hand  on  the  cocka- 
trice ’ den. 

They  shall  not  hurt  nor  destroy  in  my  holy  mountain ; 
for  the  earth  shall  be  full  of  the  knowledge  of  the  Lord,  as 
the  waters  cover  the  sea. 

And  in  the  sixty-fifth  chapter  He  says,  beginning  with 
the  seventeenth  verse ; For,  behold,  I create  new  heavens 
and  a new  earth : and  the  former  shall  not  be  remembered, 
nor  come  into  mind.

But  be  ye  glad  and  rejoice  forever  in  that  which  1 cre- 
ate : and  the  voice  of  weeping  shall  be  no  more  heard  in  her, 
nor  the  voice  of  crying. 

There  shall  be  no  more  thence  an  infant  of  days,  nor  an 
old  man  that  hath  not  filled  his  days:  for  the  child  shall 
die  an  hundred  years  old ; but  the  sinner  being  an  hundred 
years  shall  be  accursed. 

And  they  shall  build  houses  and  inhabit  them ; and  they 
shall  plant  vineyards  and  eat  the  fruit  of  them. 

They  shall  not  build  and  another  inhabit ; they  shall  not 
plant,  and  another  eat ; for  as  the  days  of  a tree,  are  the 
days  of  my  people,  and  mine  elect  shall  long  enjoy  the 
work  of  their  hands. 

They  shall  not  labour  in  vain,  nor  bring  forth  for  trou- 
ble ; for  they  are  the  seed  of  the  blessed  of  the  Lord,  and 
their  offspring  with  them. 

And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  before  they  call,  I will 
answer ; and  while  they  are  yet  speaking,  I will  hear. 

The  wolf  and  the  lamb  shall  feed  together,  and  the  lion 
shall  eat  straw  like  the  bullock : and  dust  shall  be  the  ser- 
pent ’s  meat.  They  shall  not  hurt  nor  destroy  in  my  holy 
mountain. 

Now  turn  to  the  eighth  chapter  of  Zechariah  and  see  what 
He  says  about  it ; thus  saith  the  Lord ; I am  returned  to 
Zion,  and  will  dwell  in  the  midst  of  Jerusalem:  and  Jeru- 
salem shall  be  called  a city  of  truth ; and  the  mountain  of 
the  Lord  of  Hosts  the  holy  mountain. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  Hosts ; there  shall  yet  old  men  and 
old  women  dwell  in  the  streets  of  Jerusalem,  and  every 
man  with  his  staff  in  his  hand  for  very  age. 

And  the  streets  of  the  city  shall  be  full  of  boys  and  girls 
playing  in  the  streets  thereof.
